摘要：If the native fauna of Paraguay is still poorly
understood, as shown from recent new species
records of marsupial and rodent species (de la
Sancha et al. 2007, D´Elía et al. 2008, and de la
Sancha et al., 2009), so are exotic species
infiltrating the country. One good example of this
is the European hare Lepus europaeus. In 1983,
Grigera and Rapoport reported an anecdotal
record in Paraguay (based on a personal
communication by Dr. B. Aranda Centurión) of a
few hares surrounding Fortín General Díaz
(possibly in the Department of Alto Paraguay in
the Dry Chaco). They had no real knowledge of
the origin of the hares. Although no confirmed
Paraguayan records of L. eurpaeus are reported by
Grigera and Rapoport (1983), these authors
extrapolated the possible presence of European
hares in Paraguay based on known localities from
Bolivia and Brazil at that time. Likewise,
Rodriguez et al. (1997) mention that Lepus has
established populations outside of Europe in Asia,
Australia, New Zealand and Southern cone of
South America including Paraguay, with no
further details.
