Lepus pequensis Blyth, 1855. J. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 24:471. TYPE LOCALITY: " Pegu " [Upper Pegu, Burma]. DISTRIBUTION: C, S Burma from Chindwin River valley east through Thailand; Cambodia; S Laos, S Vietnam; south in upper Malay Peninsula (Burma, Thailand) to 120°N. STATUS: Does not seem threatened (Flux and Angermann, 1990). SYNONYMS: siamensis Bonhote, 1902; vassali Thomas, 1906. COMMENTS: Placed by Gureev (1964: 144) in Caprolagus (Indolagus); he ranked siamensis as a distinct species; but see Lekagul and McNeely (1977:333) and Flux and Angermann (1990). Petter (1961) suggested that pequensis might be conspecific with nigricollis because of its close resemblance to L. n. ruficaudatus. However, L. n. ruficaudatus appears to be allopatric with respect to pequensis in E India-W Burma. Angermann (in litt., 1992) considered pequensis conspecific with nigricollis., Published as part of Robert S.

" Restricted by Ognev (1940:162) to "... valley of the Selenga River...." [Russia]. DISTRIBUTION: Steppes N of Caspian Sea southward along eastern shore of Caspian to E Iran; eastward through Afghanistan; Kazakhstan and S Siberia, Middle Asian republics to Mongolia; and W, C, and NE China. STATUS: Populations in China (and perhaps elsewhere) have declined due to intensified agriculture and increased use of pesticides (Flux and Angermann, 1990).

COMMENTS: Subgenus Proeulagus (Gureev, 1964:198). Formerly included in capensis or europaeus; see comments therein. Includes tibetanus; but see also Sokolov and Orlov (1980:85); Qui (1989) also provided evidence of differentiation of tibetanus but did not address specific status. Formerly included przewalskii, now assigned to L. oiostolus; see Cai and Feng (1982). "The situation in [southern] Iraq [and SW Iran] deserves a more detailed analysis (Angermann, 1983:19). L. tolai petteri occurs westward to about 55°- 56°E, while L. c. arabicus occurs eastward to SE Iraq. Whether the two forms come into contact is not known, but their ranges may be separated by that of L. europaeus astaricus in SW Iran (and L. e. connorii); see Baloutch (1978) and Angermann (1983). Angermann (in litt., 1992) considered tolai conspecific with capensis. According to Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951:430) the type locality should be "Adinscholo Mountain, near Tchinden [Chinden = Chindant], on Borsja [Boriya] River, a tributary of the Onon River, Eastern Siberia."

COMMENTS: Subgenus Proeulagus (Gureev, 1964:202). Includes arabicus; formerly included europaeus, corsicanus, granatensis, and tolai; see Corbet (1978c:71), Angermann (1983:20), and Harrison and Bates (1991). Includes habessinicus, but see AzzaroliPuccetti (1987a, b) who considered habessinicus as distinct. The enigmatic form connori, often placed in capensis (Corbet, 1978c; Harrison and Bates, 1991) is provisionally placed in europaeus on the basis of pelage characteristics; see Angermann (1983:19). Most Russian authors consider tolai (including tibetanus) a distinct species; see Gromov and Baranova (1981:65); but also see Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987:229). Sludskii et al. (1980:58, 85) indicated an area of sympatry between europaeus and tolai in Kazakhstan. Sokolov and Orlov (1980:85) considered tibetanus a distinct species. Some Arabian forms may be specifically distinct (Flux and Angermann, 1990); Angermann (1983: 19) noted pronounced "size" groups within arabicus. These are arabicus (largest, gray), cheesmani (with insular atallahi) (smaller, buffy), and omanensis (with insular jeffreyi) (smallest, gray)., Published as part of Robert S.
