Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus undetermined. "This hare apparently replaces the Cape hare in the open grassland, steppe, savanna and desert habitats..." (Flux and Angermann, 1990) in the Horn of Africa. Azzaroli-Puccetti (1987 a, b) provides evidence of full species status. "... appears to be sympatric with 'capensis' [hawkeri] and 'crawshayi' [microtus] in...Somalia and Ethiopia." (Petter, 1972:4)
