Ochotona (Conothoa) erythrotis Büchner 1890 , Wiss. Res. Przewalski Cent. Asien Reisen. Zool. Th., B., I: Saugeth.: 165.

Type Locality: Not specified; restricted by Allen (1938:535) to "Burchan-Budda", East Tibet, China.

Vernacular Names: Chinese Red Pika.

Synonyms: Ochotona (Conothoa) vulpina Howell 1928 .

Distribution: E Qinghai, W Gansu, possibly N Sichuan, S Xinjiang, and Tibet ( China).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Conothoa , but see Niu et al. (2001), who considered the erythrotis species group (brookei, gloveri , muliensis ) to be subgenus Pika . Formerly included gloveri ; see Corbet (1978 c:68). Feng and Zheng (1985) provided evidence that gloveri (including brookei) is a distinct species. Formerly included in rutila ( Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951) , but now regarded as distinct ( Weston, 1982). The distribution of this species is poorly known, as are its relationships with the apparently allopatric rutila , iliensis , and gloveri . See also under forresti .
