Treatment

Ochotona muliensis Pen and Feng, 1962 View in CoL . In Pen et al., Acta Zool. Sinica, 14 (supplement):120, 132.

TYPE LOCALITY: "Ting-Tung-Niu-Chang, southeastern Muli (alt. 3600m) Szechuan" [Muli A.D., Xichang County, Sichuan, China] .

DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the vicinity of the type locality.

STATUS: IUCN - Indeterminate.

SYNONYMS: Monotypic.

COMMENTS: This taxon was originally described as a subspecies of gloveri , but is now thought to be specifically distinct ( Feng and Zheng, 1985). It differs from gloveri in certain cranial characters, and in habitat (A. T. Smith et al., 1990), but its extreme rarity in collections makes its independent status difficult to demonstrate.
