Description
312. Tragulus kanchil (Raffles, 1822)
Common name: Lesser Indo-Malayan Chevrotain Myanmar name:
Distribution: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. In Myanmar, recorded in Tanintharyi Region (Htaung Pru RF and Lampi Marine NP).
Remarks: The species was described as Javan Chevrotain or lesser mouse deer T. javanicus in “ Wild Mammals of Myanmar ”. However, this species is only distributed in Indonesia. Thus, the lesser mouse deer of Myanmar could be T. kanchil or T. kanchil lampensis (Bisi et al. 2019); however, further taxonomic study is needed.
