SPECIES Rucervus schomburgki
| Author: | Blyth, 1863. | | Citation: | Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1863: 155. | | Common Name: | Schomburgk's Deer | | Type Locality: | "probably inhabiting Siam [Thailand]"; occurrence in central plains of Thailand since confirmed. | | Distribution: | Thailand (extinct), China (Yunnan), and possibly in N Laos. | | Status: | IUCN – Extinct (but see below). | | Comments: | Included in duvaucelii by Haltenorth (1963:58) and Groves (1982b); but treated as a full species by Lekagul and McNeely (1977). Last Thailand specimen killed in 1932 (Harper, 1945); one record from Sanda Valley, Yunnan (Bentham, 1908; Sclater, 1891); present status in Yunnan unknown; recently observed antlers suggest another population may survive in N Laos (Schroering, 1995, and in litt.). |
