status

 

Lepus granatensis Rosenhauer, 1856 View in CoL . Die Thiere Andalusiens, 3.

TYPE LOCALITY: "bei Granada" [Granada, Analusia Prov., Spain] .

DISTRIBUTION: Iberian Peninsula, except NE and NC parts ( Spain, Portugal); Mallorca (Balearic Isl, Spain).

STATUS: Generally common, but scarce or extinct in a few places.

SYNONYMS: gallaecius Miller, 1907; hispanicus Fitzinger, 1867; iturissius, Miller, 1907; lilfordi de Winton, 1898; mediterraneus Wagner, 1841 ; meridionalis Graells, 1897; solisi Palacios and Fernändez, 1992; typicus Hilzheimer, 1906.

COMMENTS: Formerly included in europaeus or capensis ; but see Palacios (1983,1989), and Bonhomme et al. (1986). The Mallorcan population was probably introduced by humans ( Palacios and Fernândez, 1992). The population in Sardinia, to which the names mediterraneus Machado, 1869 (not mediterraneus Wagner, 1841 ) and typicus Hilzheimer, 1906, have been applied, is assigned to this species, but its status needs investigation, as do populations from the NW African coast that have been assigned to capensis (Angermann, in litt., 1992).
