Distribution: Pakistan; India; Bangladesh, except Sunderbands; Sri Lanka; introduced into Java (?) and Mauritius, Gunnera Quoin, Anskya, Réunion and Cousin Isls in the Indian Ocean. Considered native to Java by McNeely (1981:931).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc); if nigricollis is native to Java (rather than an introduced population), its numbers are now very low there.

Discussion: Subgenus Indolagus ( Gureev, 1964) . Placed in genus Caprolagus (Indolagus) by Gureev (1964:139). Includes ruficaudatus ; see Prater (1980) and Angermann (1983), but see Gureev (1964:142); ruficaudatus is closer to capensis according to Petter (1961 a), and nigricollis may include whytei, crawshayi , peguensis and siamensis; but also see comments under microtis , peguensis and saxatilis . Includes dayanus , given specific status by Gureev (1964:139).
