, the subspecific taxonomy is not elaborated yet. The original descriptions of the subspecies are often not very helpful as they are mostly based on few exterior characteristics and small numbers of individuals. It has been shown that the variability is clinal in more careful investigations. Hence, the distinction in subspecies might be arbitrary and unreasonable. Two subspecies recognized.

) or around hill tribe villages in Thailand. Numbers of Burmese Hares are especially high in grass and shrub vegetation of seasonally exposed large river channels. In Thailand, they live in rain/ flood-fed low-intensity rice fields but avoid irrigated multi-croprice fields. A collection expedition in Thailand in 1940 recorded the Burmese Hare at an elevation of 1300 m on Mount Inthanon. Nevertheless, numerous field surveys have not recorded it above 700 m, so an upperlimit of 1300 m is questionable. Burmese Hares spend the day in forms located under bushes orin tall grass.

The Burmese Hare is widespread and common, with an overall stable population. Its distribution probably includes northern and central regions of Laos, because signs ofits presence in the wild and fresh kills in markets have been noted (but only to the genus level). Its distribution in Myanmaris largely speculative, and it might be more restricted there. Habitat of the Burmese Hare is probably expanding due to forest clearing, but it occurs in populationsisolated by forest cover. It is heavily hunted, but this does not seem to be a major threat. Extension of irrigated rice fields destroys habitat in some areas. Habitats in Laos and Vietnam are regularly burned during the dry season (February—May), which might pose a threat to young unable to avoid fire. Recommendations are to clarify taxonomy, distribution, and behavior of the Burmese Hare.</paragraph>
