SPECIES Muntiacus crinifrons
| Author: | Sclater, 1885. | | Citation: | Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1885: p. 1, pl. 1. | | Common Name: | Black Muntjac | | Type Locality: | "Vicinity of Ningpo, China" (= China, Zhejiang, near Ningpo). | | Distribution: | E China (S Anhui, N Fujian, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang; not reliably recorded from Yunnan). | | Status: | CITES – Appendix I; IUCN – Vulnerable. | | Comments: | Included in muntjak by Haltenorth (1963:42). Former presumed occurrence from Yunnan and Guangdong to Jaingsu (China) (Shou, 1962:454) may involve confusion with M. truongsongensis. Records from N Burma (Rabinowitz and Saw Tun Khaing, 1998; Rabinowitz et al., 1998) are probably based on M. gongshanensis. Differs radically from that species in karyotype (Yang et al., 1995, 1997). |
