COMMENTS: Broadbooks (1965) and Youngman (1975) considered collaris and princeps conspecific. Corbet (1978c), following Argyropulo (1948) and Gureev (1964), included collaris in alpina . A statistical réévaluation of craniometric data by Weston (1981) indicated that collaris , princeps and alpina are separate species; Hall (1981:286) also recognized collaris as a distinct species. O. collaris and O. princeps share similar chromosome numbers that differ sharply from those of alpina and hyperborea ( Vorontsov and Ivanitskaya, 1973) .
