SPECIES Pronolagus randensis
Author: | Jameson, 1907. | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 20: 404. | Common Name: | Jameson’s Red Rock Hare | Type Locality: | "Observatory Kopje...Johannesburg...Witwatersrand Range, Transvaal... 5,900 ft." [1,798 m] [South Africa]. | Distribution: | Two disjunct areas: NE South Africa, E Botswana to extreme W Mozambique, Zimbabwe; and W Namibia, perhaps SW Angola. | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | Formerly included in crassicaudatus by Lundholm (1955a); but see Petter (1972b: 6). The systematic position of the two widely disjunct populations needs clarification (Duthie and Robinson, 1990). |
