Subspecies Pronolagus rupestris subsp. rupestris A. Smith 1834

Subspecies Pronolagus rupestris subsp. curryi Thomas 1902

Subspecies Pronolagus rupestris subsp. nyikae Thomas 1902

Distribution: Two disjunct areas: S and C South Africa, S Namibia; and E Africa, from N Malawi and E Zambia north through C Tanzania to SW Kenya.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Formerly included in crassicaudatus , see Gureev (1964:174) and Peddie (1975); see also Robinson and Dippenaar (1983 a). The systematic relationships of the two widely disjunct populations should be examined ( Duthie and Robinson, 1990).
