Hi Humberto,
For European rabbit vs hares you can use:
Callou, Cécile. 1997. Diagnose différentielle des principaux éléments squelettiques du lapin (genre Oryctolagus) et du lièvre (genre Lepus) en Europe occidentale, Fiches d’Ostéologie Animale pour l’Archéologie Série B: Mammifères 8. Paris: Centre de Recherches Archéologiques du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.
There's one that distinguishes between rabbit, brown hare (L. europaeus) and Iberian hare (L. granatensis):
Llorente-Rodríguez, Laura. 2010. "The Hares from Cova Fosca (Castellón, Spain)." Archaeofauna 19:59-97.
Let me know if you'd like PDFs of those.
I'm also developing an linear osteometric method for distinguishing between brown hare and mountain hare (L. timidus) for my PhD.
Cheers,
Tom
