GENUS Romerolagus

Author:Merriam, 1896.
Citation:Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 10: 173.
Type Species:Lepus diazi Ferrari-Peréz, 1893.
Comments:Whether this monotypic genus represents "the most primitive of the living rabbits and hares" (Fa and Bell, 1990), or is closer to the more specialized leporids (Sylvilagus, Oryctolagus, Lepus) (Corbet, 1983), or is intermediate (Hibbard, 1963), remains controversial.
