Bunolagus monticularis (Thomas 1903) View in CoL

[Lepus] monticularis Thomas 1903 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 11: 78.

Type Locality: "Deelfontein, Cape Colony," South Africa.

Vernacular Names: Riverine Rabbit.

Distribution: C Karoo (31E22'S, 22 EE), Western Cape Prov. ( South Africa).

Conservation: IUCN – Critically Endangered.

Discussion: Reviewed by Petter (1972 b). 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) .
