The Siberut flying squirrel (Petinomys lugens) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae, a gliding squirrel of the genus Petinomys. It is endemic to Indonesia, so it occurs nowhere else, and its common name points to Siberut, one of the Mentawai Islands. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests, and it is threatened by habitat loss. The species was described by Oldfield Thomas in 1895. The article is brief and cites the 2005 Mammal Species of the World treatment of the family Sciuridae by Thorington and Hoffman, so its diet, activity pattern, body size and population remain to be filled from other sources.
