When you say species you are talking about one particular kind of animal. So it is not correct to say what species are flying squirrels in.
In classifying animals a large group is the Genera then the species. This is usually written Genera species.
So Eupetaurus cinereus tells us that this animal is one kind of flying squirrel (cinereus) which belongs to a larger group of flying squirrels.

There are several species of flying squirrels, primarily categorized into two genera: Petaurista and Glaucomys. Petaurista includes larger species like the Indian giant flying squirrel and the woolly flying squirrel, while Glaucomys features smaller species such as the northern and southern flying squirrels found in North America. These squirrels are known for their unique patagium, a membrane that enables them to glide between trees. Each species has adapted to different habitats, ranging from tropical forests to temperate woodlands.
What is the genius and species of a flying squirrel?
The flying squirrels, scientifically known as Pteromyini or Petauristini, are a tribe of squirrels (family Sciuridae). There are 43 species in this tribe, the largest of which is the woolly flying squirrel (Eupetaurus cinereus). The two species of the genus Glaucomys (Glaucomys sabrinus and Glaucomys volans) are native to North America, and the Siberian flying squirrel is native to parts of northern Europe (Pteromys volans).Flying squirrels are mammals. Thorington and Hoffman (2005) recognize 15 genera of flying squirrels in two subtribes. * Tribe Pteromyini - flying squirrels ** Subtribe Glaucomyina *** Eoglaucomys, one species, the Kashmir Flying Squirrel (Eoglaucomys fimbriatus). *** Glaucomys (American flying squirrels), two species, the Northern flying squirrel and the Southern flying squirrel, North America *** Hylopetes, seven species, southeast Asia,laredo *** Iomys, one species, Horsfield's Flying Squirrel, Malaysia and Indonesia *** Petaurillus (pygmy flying squirrels), three species, Borneo and Malaya *** Petinomys, nine species, southeast Asia ** Subtribe Pteromyina *** Aeretes, one species, the Groove-toothed Flying Squirrel or North Chinese Flying Squirrel (A. melanopterus), northeast China *** Aeromys, two species, Thailand to Borneo *** Belomys, one species, the hairy-footed flying squirrel (B. pearsonii), southeast Asia. *** Biswamoyopterus, one species, the Namdapha flying squirrel, India *** Eupetaurus, one species, the woolly flying squirrel, Kashmir; rare *** Petaurista (giant flying squirrels), five species, southeast Asia (including the Japanese giant flying squirrel, the Red giant flying squirrel, and the giant flying-squirrel) *** Pteromys, two species, Finland to Japan (including the Japanese dwarf flying squirrel) *** Pteromyscus, one species, the Smoky Flying Squirrel, southern Thailand to Borneo *** Trogopterus, one species, the complex-toothed flying squirrel, China
