COMMENTS: Subgenus Hemiechinus . Corbet (1988: 159) accepted albulus, auritus , and megalotis as valid subspecies; megalotis was formerly regarded as a distinct species but intergrades with auritus in Afghanistan; see Niethammer (1973). Osborn and Helmy (1980:57-64) recognized two subspecies within Egypt, aegyptius and libycus. The form of Cyprus (dorotheae) may be also distinct, according to Boye (1991: 115).
