Detailed study of ochotonids from the Late Miocene-Pleistocene of North China revealed more than fifteen ochotonid taxa. They include Ochotona plicodenta sp. nov., O. gracilis sp. nov., O. lingtaica sp. nov., O. youngi sp. nov., O. magna sp. nov., O. zhangi sp. nov., O. cf. O. lagreli, O. cf. O. minor, O. cf. O. cansus, O. aff. O. tibetana, O. aff. O. bazarovi, O. aff. O. dodogolica, O. aff. O. intermedia, Ochotona sp. (small), O. complicidens and O. complicidens near to Ochotonoma. Of these species, the former ten are the endemics to China and the other forms are widely-distributed in Asia. Evolutionary history of ochotonids is shortly discussed.
