Ochotona (Conothoa) macrotis Günther 1875 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 4, 16: 231.

Type Locality: "Doba" [C Tibet, (31EN, 87 EE), China] Ognev (1940:86). Not "Duba...N side Kuenlun... on road...via Kugiar" [Kakyar. 37E45'N, 77E05'E, W Xinjiang, China] contra Blanford (1879:76). Not Dobo, Qinghai [(36E41'N, 101E30'E) ( Vaurie, 1972:352)] .

Vernacular Names: Large-eared Pika.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Ochotona (Conothoa) macrotis subsp. macrotis Günther 1875

Subspecies Ochotona (Conothoa) macrotis subsp. auritus Blanford 1875

Subspecies Ochotona (Conothoa) macrotis subsp. chinensis Thomas 1911

Subspecies Ochotona (Conothoa) macrotis subsp. sacana Thomas 1914

Subspecies Ochotona (Conothoa) macrotis subsp. wollastoni Thomas and Hinton 1922

Distribution: Mountainous regions including the Himalayas ( Nepal, India) from Bhutan through Tibet, Kunlun (Qinghai, Xinjiang, Sichuan and Yunnan [ China]), Karakorum ( Pakistan), Hindu Kush ( Afghanistan), Pamir, and W Tien Shan Mtns ( Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, SE Kazakhstan).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Conothoa . Included in roylei by Gureev (1964), Roberts (1977), Corbet (1978 c: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.
