Subspecies:: Subspecies Ochotona (Pika) hyperborea subsp. hyperborea Pallas 1811 Subspecies Ochotona (Pika) hyperborea subsp. cinereoflava Schrenk 1858 Subspecies Ochotona (Pika) hyperborea subsp. coreana Allen and Andrews 1913 Subspecies Ochotona (Pika) hyperborea subsp. ferruginea Schrenk 1858 Subspecies Ochotona (Pika) hyperborea subsp. mantchurica Thomas 1909 Subspecies Ochotona (Pika) hyperborea subsp. normalis Schrenk 1858 Subspecies Ochotona (Pika) hyperborea subsp. uralensis Flerov 1927 Subspecies Ochotona (Pika) hyperborea subsp. yesoensis Kishida 1930 Subspecies Ochotona (Pika) hyperborea subsp. yoshikurai Kishida 1932 Distribution: Ural, Putorana, Sayan Mtns, east of Lena River to Chukotka, Koryatsk and Kamchatka; upper Yenesei, Transbaikalia, and Amur regions, Sakhalin Isl (Russia); NC Mongolia; NE China; N Korea; Hokkaido (Japan). Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc); the subspecies yesoensis is considered to be rare on Hokkaido, Japan. Discussion: Subgenus Pika . Formerly included in alpina see A. T. Smith et al. (1990), and references therein. Differences in morphology and vocalizations are noticeable where hyperborea and alpina are sympatric in the W Sayan Mtns, Khangai Mtns, and Transbaikalia, and character displacement in size is also evident in some populations (Lissovsky and Lissovskaya, 2000; A. T. Smith et al., 1990). The original Pallas citation was printed and privately circulated in 1811, but not published for general distribution until 1826. Subspecies follow Lissovsky; formerly included O. turuchanensis Naumov 1934, which is considered a separate species (Lissovsky, 2002).
