Family Leporidae Fischer, 1817. Mém. Soc. Imp. Nat. Moscow, 5:372. SYNONYMS: Leporinorum Fischer, 1817. COMMENTS: Often divided into subfamilies Paleolaginae (Pentalagus, Pronolagus, Romerolagus) and Leporinae (remaining genera) (Dice, 1929; Simpson, 1945), but no subfamilies were recognized by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951). For basis of genera recognized here, see Corbet (1983).
