From Mammal Species of the World (Smithsonian Inst. Press): "Horses have been assigned to two different species, E. caballus (including ferus and gmelini) and E. przewalskii, but recent authors include przewalskii in caballus; see Corbet (1978ref:194), Groves (1974 ref), and Bennett (1980ref). Groves (1971ref) and Corbet (1978ref:194) proposed that ferus replace caballus, objecting to the use of specific names based on domestic animals. Gromov and Baranova (1981ref:333-334) continued to recognizetwo species, gmelini and przewalskii."
