Ochotona himalayana Feng, 1973 View in CoL . Acta Zool. Sinica, 19:69, 73.

TYPE LOCALITY: "Qu-xiang, Bo-qu Valley, Nei-la-mu [= Nyalam] District, alt. 3500 m." [Xigaze (Shigatse) County, Xizang (Tibet), China].

DISTRIBUTION: Mt. Jolmolunga (Everest) area, S Xizang, China; probably adjacent Nepal.

STATUS: Unknown.

SYNONYMS: Monotypic.

COMMENTS: This taxon was considered a synonym of O. roylei by Corbet (1978c) and Weston (1982). Additional data ( Feng and Zheng, 1985; Feng et al., 1986) suggest that it may be an independent species. However, its range is within that of the similar O. roylei nepalensis , and additional studies are necessary to confirm its specific distinctness.
