Distribution: Palearctic from Scandinavia to E Siberia, except E Chukotsk ( Russia), south to Sakhalin and Sikhote-Alin Mtns ( Russia); Hokkaido ( Japan); Heilungjiang, N Xinjiang ( China); N Mongolia; Altai, N Tien Shan Mtns; N Ukraine, E Poland, and Baltics; isolated populations in the Alps, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Introduced into England, Faeros and Scottish Isles.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Subgenus Lepus ( Gureev, 1964; Averianov, 1998). Formerly included arcticus and othus ; see Corbet (1978 c: 73); but also see comments under those species. A. J. Baker et al. (1983) found Scottish and Alpine populations morphologically distinct, as well as geographically isolated, from other populations, and Flux (1983) remarked that L. t. scoticus and L. t. hibernicus (from Scotland and Ireland, respectively), both introduced on the island of Mull ( Hewson, 1991) still do not interbreed after 50 years. Reviewed by Angerbjorn and Flux (1995, Mammalian Species, 495).
