Usage notes
This term was proposed in 2008 by a committee that intended to create consistent naming system for all mammals. The problem with the currently used term maaorava is that it translates verbatim as "ground squirrel" into English and is thus apt to produce confusion. However, the new term has not gained significant acceptance (as of 2014).
