The secretive dwarf squirrel (Prosciurillus abstrusus) is a small rodent in the squirrel family, Sciuridae, placed in the genus Prosciurillus. It is endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, which means it is found nowhere else, and on that island it is recorded from the Mengkoka Mountains in the southeast. Its natural habitat is montane forest. The species is described as threatened by habitat loss, a concern that weighs more heavily on an animal whose known range is confined to one mountain area of a single island. The account of the species rests on the squirrel family treatment in Mammal Species of the World and states only a few facts, which are the ones recorded here.
