Comment:
Comments: Species limits in Himalayas are still uncertain; see Cai and Feng (1981), Groves (1976, 1980a), Groves et al. (1995), Groves and Grubb (1987), and Grubb (1982a). Su et al. (1999) recognised the following phylogeny from study of cytochrome b genes: (moschiferus) ((berezovskii) (chrysogaster, fuscus, leucogaster)), confirming affinity of at least some alpine taxa. Sokolov and Prikhod'ko (1996, 1997) recognised only one species in the genus
