TYPE SPECIES: Ochotona minor Link, 1795 (= Lepus dauuricus Pallas, 1776 View in CoL ).

SYNONYMS: Conothoa Lyon, 1904 ; Lagomys G. Cuvier, 1800 ; Lepus Linnaeus, 1758 (in part); Ogotoma Gray, 1867 ; Pika Lacépède, 1799 ; Tibetholagus Argyropulo and Pidoplichko, 1939 .

COMMENTS: There are presently no grounds for recognizing subgenera pending a phylogenetic analysis of specific relationships within the genus. The subgeneric classifications published (e.g., Allen, 1938; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951; Erbaeva, 1988; Ognev, 1940) differ dramatically, even when based on the same distinguishing characteristics.
