Large-eared Pika – Ochotona macrotis

Ochotona macrotisGünther, 1875

Accepted name, Mammal Species of the World 2005

"Subgenus Conothoa. Included in roylei by Gureev (1964), Roberts (1977), Corbet (1978c:68), and Gromov and Baranova (1981:72). Morphological and ecological differences in the area of sympatry first documented by Kawamichi (1971) and Abe (1971), and confirmed by Mitchell (1978, 1981). Weston (1982), Feng and Zheng (1985), and Feng et al. (1986) indicated that macrotis is a distinct species. Yu et al. (2000) consider it a sister species to roylei. Whether the co-type from ""Doba"" in the Natural History Museum (London) is from C Tibet or W Xinjiang is uncertain."
