Lepus californicus: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Proeulagus (Gureev, 1964:193), or Eulagos (Averianov, 1998). Chromosomes described by Cervantes et al. (1999-2000). Reviewed by Best (1996, Mammalian Species, 530)
Comment:
Although Wilson & Reeder (2005) accepted five subspecies of Lepus californicus and treated the rest in synonymy, more recent publications have followed Best's 1996 treatment in Mammalian Species (Cervantes & Castañeda, 2012) or a treatment more similar to Best's than to Wilson & Reeder (Lorenzo et al., 2010). ITIS is following Best's treatment (1996) with the addition of L. c. insularis (Wilson & Reeder, 2005; Cervantes & Castañeda, 2012)
