Rock squirrel at the Grand Canyon
Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Chordata
Class:	Mammalia
Order:	Rodentia
Family:	Sciuridae
Tribe:	Marmotini
Genus:	Otospermophilus Brandt, 1844
Species
O. atricapillus O. beecheyi O. variegetus

Otospermophilus is a genus of ground squirrels in the family Sciuridae, containing three species from Mexico and the United States. Otospermophilus was formerly placed in the large ground squirrel genus Spermophilus, as a subgenus or species group. Since DNA sequencing of the cytochrome b gene has shown Spermophilus to be paraphyletic to the prairie dogs and marmots,^[1] it is now separated, along with six other genera.^[2]

Species

The three species in Otospermophilus are listed below. These are the same species that were previously grouped in the subgenus Otospermophilus.^[2]

Baja California rock squirrel, Otospermophilus atricapillus
California ground squirrel, Otospermophilus beecheyi
Rock squirrel, Otospermophilus variegatus
