From Ancient Greek βέλος (bélos, “dart, arrow”), for the species' dart-like gliding capabilities. Coined by George Robert Waterhouse, who proposed Belideus as a subgenus of Petaurus in a paper describing Petaurus (Belideus) breviceps, which he read before the Zoological Society of London on 13 November 1838 and subsequently published in May 1839. Elevated to the rank of genus by John Gould in 1842.
