Sylvilagus apollinaris (O. Thomas, 1920)

The Bogota tapeti (Sylvilagus apollinaris) is a species of cottontail rabbit related to the common tapeti (Sylvilagus brasilensis). It is endemic to a region south of the Isthmus of Panama, generally described as "northern Colombia". Previously a subspecies of either the common tapeti or Andean tapeti (Sylvilagus andinus), it was split and considered a separate species in 2017. Later morphological evidence was examined that supported its separation from S. brasilensis.
