Description
Tragulus javanicus (Osbeck 1765)
Cervus javanicus Osbeck 1765, Reise nach Ostindien und China: 357.
Type Locality: Indonesia, W Java, Udjung Kulon Peninsula, "Nieu Bay" (Meeuwenbaai or Muara Tjikuja), Jankolan (Djungkulan) kampong; identified by Van Bemmel (1949 b) and Hoogerwerf (1970:353).
Vernacular Names: Java Mouse-deer.
Synonyms: Tragulus focalinus Miller 1903; Tragulus indicus Brisson 1765; Tragulus indicus (Gmelin 1788); Tragulus jasanicus (C. H. Smith 1827); Tragulus javanicus (Gmelin 1788); Tragulus javensis Pallas 1779.
Distribution: Indonesia (Java).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Meijaard and Groves (2004) were not convinced that Cervus javanicus Osbeck, 1765 is a mouse-deer and preferred to date the name from Tragulus javanicus (Gmelin, 1788). Until their evidence is published, the older name is retained here. Tragulus javensis Pallas, 1779 is available and predates Moschus javanicus Gmelin, 1788. The two names are objective synonyms because they are both based on the description of a specimen by Pallas (1777, fasc. 12, p. 18), but javensis has not been noticed and is a nomen oblitum.
