GENUS Muntiacus

Author:Rafinesque, 1815.
Citation:Analyse de la Nature: 56.
Type Species:Cervus muntjak Zimmermann, 1780.
Comments:Muntiacus Rafinesque is a nomen nudum, but was conserved by Opinion 460 (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1957b). Revised by Groves and Grubb (1990). Six new species named from 1982 through 1999. Megamuntiacus treated as a synonym of Muntiacus by Amato et al. (2000), Giao et al. (1998), and Schaller and Vrba (1996). Studies of mtDNA sequences by Wang and Lan (2000) suggested the following phylogeny: (reevesi, vuquangensis) (((feae) (gongshanensis, crinifrons)) (muntjac)), indicating Muntiacus would be paraphyletic if Megamuntiacus were regarded as valid.
