Lepus fagani Thomas, 1903 View in CoL . Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1902(2):315 [1903].
TYPE LOCALITY: "Zegi, Lake Tsana [Tana, Ethiopia] 4000 feet."
DISTRIBUTION: N and W Ethiopia, and adjacent SE Sudan, south to extreme NW Kenya.
STATUS: Unknown.
SYNONYMS: Monotypic.
COMMENTS: Formerly included in victoriae (as crawshayi ) by Gureev (1964:204); AzzaroliPuccetti (1987a, b) maintained its specific identity. Its known distribution is largely allo- or parapatric to that of victoriae ; may be a highland allospecies ( Flux and Angermann, 1990). Angermann (in litt., 1992) considered fagani conspecific with victoriae .
