There seem to be three species of Tamiasciurus

T. Hudsonicus T. douglasii T. mearnsi

As per this source http://www.bucknell.edu/msw3/browse.asp?id=12400001

and as per this source http://www.jstor.org/pss/1383712

The article doesn't mention T. mearnsi

Wikipedia itself even seems to think there are three species: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamiasciurus_mearnsi

I'm going to go ahead and change the article's text to include all three species, based on Thorington & Hoffmann. --Saukkomies ^talk 15:31, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
