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. |
