SPECIES Tetracerus quadricornis
| Author: | de Blainville, 1816. | | Citation: | Bull. Sci. Soc. Philom. Paris, 1816: 75. | | Common Name: | Four-horned Antelope. | | Type Locality: | "native de l'Inde"; "plains of Peninsular India" (Lydekker, 1914b:222). | | Distribution: | India, Nepal (Terai). | | Status: | CITES – Appendix III (Nepal); IUCN – Vulnerable. | | Comments: | The type of Cervus labipes F. Cuvier, 1832 is not a deer from the Philippines but a female Four-horned Antelope (Sundevall, 1846). The incorrect original spelling Antilope sub-4-cornutus Elliot was justifiably emended to subquadricornutus by Hodgson (1847; Calcutta Journal of Natural History, 8:89). Revised by Groves (2003). |
