Baird 1855, page 332, Syntype of Sciurus castanotus Baird, 1855
Baird 1857, page 266, Syntype of Sciurus castanonotus Baird, 1858 Also in table on p. 267
Coues and Allen 1877, page 735, Other Useful Citation of Sciurus aberti Woodhouse, 1853 This publication shows the taxonomic revision to Sciurus aberti.
Lyon and Osgood 1909, page 182, Paralectotype of Sciurus castanotus Baird, 1855 This publication designates USNM 121/1107 the lectotype and thus MCZ 4692 is the paralectotype of Sciurus castanotus. Though not explicitly stated by Lyon and Osgood, this specimen should serve as a paralectotype for both names (Sciurus castanotus and S. castanonotus).
