COMMENTS: Formerly incuded in alpina; see A. T. Smith et al. (1990), and references therein. Difference in morphology and vocalizations are noticeable where hyperborea and alpina are sympatric in the W Sayan Mtns, Khangai Mtns, and Transbaikalia, and character displacement in size is also evident in some populations (A. T. Smith et al., 1990). The original citation was printed and privately circulated in 1811, but not published for general distribution until 1826.
