SPECIES Mazama nana

Author:Hensel, 1872.
Citation:Abhandl. Preuss. Akad. Will., 1872: 99.
Common Name:Southern Bororó
Type Locality:Brazil, "Río Grande do Sul".
Distribution:N Argentina, SE Brazil, and E Paraguay.
Status:IUCN – Data Deficient (DSG recommended).
Comments:Hensel misidentified this species as Cervus rufinus Pucheran, but regarded Cervus nanus Lund as a synonym. The latter name becomes valid from Hensel's description, as Mazama nana (Hensel, 1872). The name is preooccupied by Cervus nanus Kaup, 1839, possibly a junior synonym of †Euprox dicranocerus (Kaup, 1833), and probably a nomen oblitum. A species distinct from M. rufina according to Czernay (1987). "Bororo" has been used as a vernacular name for M. nana by Czernay (1987) but needs to be qualified in view of the recently described M. bororo.
