Comments: | Formerly included Bunolagus; see Petter (1972b); and originally all other genera (Brachylagus, Caprolagus, Macrotolagus, Poelagus, Pronolagus, Romerolagus, Sylvilagus) in Leporidae except Pentalagus. The taxonomy of this genus remains controversial. L. crawshayi (including whytei), peguensis, ruficaudatus, and siamensis have been variously treated as separate species or have been included in nigricollis. L. europaeus, corsicanus, granatensis, mediterraneus, tolai, and tibetanus have been placed in capensis or treated as distinct species; see comments therein. For synonyms see (Pavlinov et al., 1995b). |
