According to this site there are two species of North American flying squirrel: northern flying squirrel
Glaucomys sabrinus and the southern flying squirrel,
Glaucomys volans. Their ranges are overlapping and, to complicate matters further, there are at least two sub-species of the northern,
G. sabrinus coloratus, the Carolina northern and
G. sabrinus fuscus, the Virginia northern.
Pteromys sp. are the Old World flying squirrels.
