Anomalurus is the largest genus in the rodent family Anomaluridae, with four species. It is the only genus in the subfamily Anomalurinae.
Species
- A. beecrofti - Beecroft's Scaly-tailed Squirrel
- A. derbianus - Lord Derby's Scaly-tailed Squirrel
- A. pelii - Pel's Scaly-tailed Squirrel
- A. pusillus - Dwarf Scaly-tailed Squirrel
Beecroft's Scaly-tailed Squirrel, Anomalurus beecrofti, is sometimes moved to its own genus, Anomalurops, but Dieterlen (2005) and other authorities consider it to be part of Anomalurus.
