Ochotona forresti Thomas, 1923 . Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 9, 11:662.

TYPE LOCALITY: "N.W. flank [Li-kiang Range, 27°N, 100°30'E] 13,000’" (Yunnan, China] .

DISTRIBUTION: NW Yunnan, SE Tibet (China); N Burma; Assam, Sikkim (India); Bhutan.

STATUS: Unknown.

SYNONYMS: Monotypic.

COMMENTS: Formerly included in pusilla (Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951), roylei (Corbet, 1978c), and thibetana (Feng and Kao, 1974; Gureev, 1964; Weston, 1982), but now considered distinct (A. T. Smith et al., 1990, and references therein). O. forresti is poorly known, but may prove to be an allospecies of O. roylei; it is thought to be geographically sympatric with O. gloveri and/or O. thibetana in Yunnan (China), Burma, and Sikkim (India).
