Description
Lepus (Eulagos) comus Allen 1927
Lepus (Eulagos) comus Allen 1927, Am. Mus. Novit., 284: 9.
Type Locality: "Teng-yueh [Tengueh], Yunnan Province, China, 5,500 feet [1676 m] altitude.".
Vernacular Names: Yunnan Hare.
Synonyms: Lepus (Eulagos) peni Wang and Luo 1985; Lepus (Eulagos) pygmaeus Wang and Feng 1985.
Distribution: Yunnan, W Guizhou (China).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Subgenus Eulagos (Averianov, 1998). Formerly included in oiostolus; see Corbet (1978 c). Elevated to specific status by Cai and Feng (1982) and Wang et al. (1985), on the basis of morphological and ecological differences. May be allo- or parapatric with oiostolus. Possibly related to nigricollis (Flux and Angermann, 1990).
