Range: The distribution of Korean pika extends throughout northern alpine, talus habitats near Hamgyeongbuk Province, Hamgyeongnam Province, Ryanggang Province and Jagang Province in North Korea ( Won 1968; Kim et al. 2015; Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ). With a recent report of the species at Mt. Myohyang, ( Smith & Jo 2018a) the distribution of Korean pika in Korea is expanding.

Remarks: The Korean pika was formerly considered a subspecies of the northern pika, O. hyperborea ( Jones & Johnson 1965) . However, Lissovsky et al. (2008) proposed elevating O. h. coreana to the species level based on analysis of the cytochrome b gene. Despite morphological similarity with sibling species, Lissovsky (2014) suggested O. coreana as a species with the provision that the taxonomic status depended on the application of the species concept.

Conservation status: In 1980, North Korea designated the habitat at Sanyang, Beagam County, Ryanggang Province a Natural Monument. North Korea classified this species as ‘Rare’ in the Red Data Book (MAB National Committee of DPR Korea 2002).
