Bunolagus monticularisThomas, 1903

Accepterad namn, Mammal Species of the World 2005

Reviewed by Petter (1972b). Formerly in Lepus (Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951), but returned to Bunolagus by Angermann (1966). Karyological evidence supports the separation of Bunolagus (2n=44) from Lepus (2n=48) (Robinson and Dippenaar, 1987; Robinson and Skinner, 1983); its closest relatives are probably Pronolagus (Corbet, 1983).
