Rhinoceros sondaicus Desmarest 1822, Mammalogie, in: Encycl. Meth., Vol. 2: 399.

Vernacular Names: Javan Rhinoceros.
Subspecies::
Subspecies Rhinoceros sondaicus subsp. sondaicus Desmarest 1822
Subspecies Rhinoceros sondaicus subsp. annamiticus Heude 1892
Subspecies Rhinoceros sondaicus subsp. inermis Lesson 1838
Distribution: Formerly Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and probably S China through peninsular Malaya to Sumatra and Java. Survives in Ujung Kulon (W Java) and in Vietnam; perhaps in small areas of Burma, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia.
Conservation: CITES – Appendix I; U.S. ESA – Endangered; IUCN – Critically Endangered.
Discussion: Revised by Groves (1967 c). The type was said to have been obtained by Diard and Duvaucel who were thought to have collected together only on Sumatra, not Java (Sody, 1946) but Rookmaaker (1983) showed that Java is correctly the type locality.
