Moreover, Lydekker discussed a specimen from Baluchistan (British Museum 1891-5-13-1) that was later to be made the type of a new subspecies (Microhippus hemionus blanfordi) by Pocock (1947). This specimen was considered to be a hybrid of Kiang and Khur by Groves (1963), and ultimately as a representative of a transitional population between Khur and Onager (Groves and Mazak 1967). Eisenmann, however, sees this enigmatic form as fitting quite well the pattern of an Indian Khur www.vera-eisenmann.com/IMG/pdf/127.Pluriquest_OK.pdf |

A single specimen from Baluchistan, originally described as a new subspecies (Microhippus hemionus blanfordi) by Pocock (1947), and interpreted by Groves (1963) as a hybrid between Kiang and Khur, was later perceived (Groves 1986) as an intergrade between Khur and Onager. www.vera-eisenmann.com/IMG/pdf/127.Pluriquest_OK.pdf |
