Glaucomys volans underwoodi was recently rediscovered in Honduras after 43 years since its last record; the population in the eastern region of the country is considered the southernmost within the distribution of this species. However, there is a lack of ecological information about this squirrel in their disjunct populations through Central America. We describe the nest sites used by this species in Honduras and give reproductive data for the southern populations for the first time. Also, we add the northernmost record for the species in Honduras. Restrained activities are needed to conserve the last remnants of pine forests and their mammals within the country.
