Includes montanus and rex ; see Aimi, 1980 , Mem. Fac. Sci. Kyoto Univ. Ser. BioL, 8:35-84. Corbet, 1978:99, tentatively included montanus in rex , which he listed as a species; Imaizumi, 1972 , Mem. Nat. Sci. Mus . Tokyo , 5: 131-139, regarded both as distinct species; he believed them to be close to rufocanus , which also occurs on Hokkaido (as C. r. bedfordiae ) and possibly Rishiri (as sikotanensis ); also see Imaizumi, 1971 , J. Mamm. Soc. Jpn., 5: 99-103. Revision of this species is needed for the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese forms; more than one species may be present (MLJ). ISIS NUMBER: 5301410008072004001.
