Lepus corsicanus de Winton 1898 View in CoL
Lepus corsicanus de Winton 1898 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 1: 155.
Type Locality: "Bastia," [ Corsica, Italy].
Vernacular Names: Corsican Hare.
Distribution: Italy from the Abruzzo Mtns southward; Sicily; introduced into Corsica no later than 16th Century ( Vigne, 1988).
Conservation: Not Evaluated; likely to be listed as one of the IUCN threatened categories upon evaluation, due to probable reduction in numbers and range due to over-hunting and introduction of L. europeaus ( Palacios et al., 1989; Pierpaoli et al., 1999).
Discussion: Subgenus probably Eulagos . Formerly included in capensis or europaeus ; see Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and Petter (1961 a); but see also Palacios et al. (1989) and Pierpaoli et al. (1999) who provided evidence of their specific distinctness.
