Lepus pequensis Blyth, 1855 View in CoL . J. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 24:471.
TYPE LOCALITY: " Pegu " [Upper Pegu, Burma] .
DISTRIBUTION: C, S Burma from Chindwin River valley east through Thailand; Cambodia; S Laos, S Vietnam; south in upper Malay Peninsula ( Burma, Thailand) to 120°N.
STATUS: Does not seem threatened ( Flux and Angermann, 1990).
SYNONYMS: siamensis Bonhote, 1902; vassali Thomas, 1906.
COMMENTS: Placed by Gureev (1964: 144) in Caprolagus (Indolagus) ; he ranked siamensis as a distinct species; but see Lekagul and McNeely (1977:333) and Flux and Angermann (1990). Petter (1961) suggested that pequensis might be conspecific with nigricollis because of its close resemblance to L. n. ruficaudatus . However, L. n. ruficaudatus appears to be allopatric with respect to pequensis in E India-W Burma. Angermann (in litt., 1992) considered pequensis conspecific with nigricollis .
