SPECIES Lepus (Sabanalagus) fagani
| Author: | Thomas, 1902. | | Actual Date: | 1903 | | Citation: | Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1902(2): 315. | | Common Name: | Ethiopian Hare | | Type Locality: | "Zegi, Lake Tsana [Tana, Ethiopia] 4000 feet. [1219 m]" | | Distribution: | N and W Ethiopia, and adjacent SE Sudan, south to extreme NW Kenya. | | Status: | IUCN – Data Deficient. | | Comments: | Subgenus Sabanalagus (Avarianov, 1998). Formerly included in crawshayi (= victoriae = microtis) by Gureev (1964:204), but Azzaroli-Puccetti (1987a, b) maintained its specific identity. Its known distribution is largely allo- or parapatric to that of microtis; may be a highland allospecies (Flux and Angermann, 1990). |
