Description
Poelagus St. Leger 1932
Poelagus St. Leger 1932, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1932 (1): 119.
Type Species: Lepus marjorita St. Leger 1929
Species and subspecies: 1 species:
Species Poelagus marjorita (St. Leger 1929)
Discussion: Originally spelled Poëlagus, but this is a diaeresis and not an umlaut and thus the correct spelling is Poelagus (see Art. 32.5.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999). Formerly placed as subgenus of Pronolagus; see Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951:425); but see also Petter (1972 b:5). Formerly placed as subgenus of Caprolagus; see Gureev (1964:152).
