It was described by Colin Campbell Sanborn in 1952, and it belongs to the genus Sundasciurus, which it shares with Brooke's squirrel and the Culion tree squirrel. The IUCN Red List assesses it as Least Concern. The sources read for this entry record very little else about its ecology or behaviour, so its habitat, diet and population trend are not yet documented here.
