The arrow flying squirrel, Hylopetes sagitta, is a species of flying squirrel endemic to the Indonesian islands of Java and Bangka. It is nocturnal and arboreal and may be found in primary and secondary forest. Its population size is unknown, because it has been collected from only a few localities. It is threatened by forest loss caused by logging and agriculture, and no conservation actions are known. Phylogenetic evidence indicates that the grey-cheeked flying squirrel, Hylopetes lepidus, a widespread species described in 1822 and known from peninsular Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra, Java and Borneo, is conspecific with this species. The IUCN Red List lists it as Data Deficient.
