| | An endangered species of Lagomorpha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08) |
 | | Three type-specimens were identified during the initial phase of study and classification of the Ili pika:1)the holotype #83001, adult, collected from 3,200m altitude on 5 August 1983; and the paratypes, #85003, adult, and #85004, subadult, collected from 3,300m altitude on 13 and 14 August 1985, respectively. |
 | | The Ili pika is rather large in size; the adult total length is more than 200mm, and the greatest length of skull is more than 45mm. |
 | | In addition, the Ili pika is markedly distinguished from all other named forms of Ochotona by its ear and hind foot being the largest in length. |
