Muntiacus crinifrons Sclater 1885

Description

Muntiacus crinifrons Sclater 1885

Muntiacus crinifrons Sclater 1885, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1885: 1.

Type Locality: "Vicinity of Ningpo, China " (= China, Zhejiang, near Ningpo).

Vernacular Names: Black Muntjac.

Distribution: E China (S Anhui, N Fujian, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang; not reliably recorded from Yunnan).

Conservation: CITES – Appendix I; IUCN – Vulnerable.

Discussion: Included in muntjak by Haltenorth (1963:42). Former presumed occurrence from Yunnan and Guangdong to Jaingsu (China) (Shou, 1962:454) may involve confusion with M. truongsongensis. Records from N Burma (Rabinowitz and Saw Tun Khaing, 1998; Rabinowitz et al., 1998) are probably based on M. gongshanensis. Differs radically from that species in karyotype (Yang et al., 1995, 1997).
