COMMENTS: Assigned to pusilla by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951), to roylei (as O. lama) by Corbet (1978c) and to thibetana (as O. t. lama) by Feng et al. (1986). Recognized as distinct by A. T. Smith et al. (1990). Its closest relations seem to be with thibetana and it is possible that further data may indicate intergradation between the two. May include hodgsoni ; see comment under O. roylei .
