The Caucasian squirrel (Sciurus anomalus) or Persian squirrel, is a tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus found in temperate broadleaf and mixed forests in south-western Asia.[1]
The species is traditionally said to have first been described in 1778 by Johann Friedrich Gmelin in the 13th edition of Systema Naturae,[3] and named Sciurus anomalus.[1] However, this work was actually published in 1788,[4] so the true first description was made by Johann Anton Güldenstädt in 1785.[5][2] Gmelin made reference to this in the 1788 work, citing Güldenstädt as the author.
