Description
Genus Hydropotes Swinhoe, 1870
Both male and female Hydropotes have a different antlerless morphology from other cervids. Gentry and Hooker (1988) proposed consigning this genus to a separate family. Randi et al. (1998) identified Capreolus by mtDNA analysis as the closest taxa to Hydropotes and advocated placing Hydropotes in the Subfamily Capreolinae. We follow Grubb (2005) and classified the genus in Hydropotinae.
