Rucervus schomburgki Blyth 1863
Rucervus schomburgki Blyth 1863 , Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1863: 155.
Type Locality: "probably inhabiting Siam [ Thailand]"; occurrence in central plains of Thailand since confirmed.
Vernacular Names: Schomburgk's Deer.
Distribution: Thailand (extinct), China (Yunnan), and possibly in N Laos.
Conservation: IUCN – Extinct (but see below).
Discussion: Included in duvaucelii by Haltenorth (1963:58) and Groves (1982 b); but treated as a full species by Lekagul and McNeely (1977). Last Thailand specimen killed in 1932 ( Harper, 1945); one record from Sanda Valley, Yunnan ( Bentham, 1908; Sclater, 1891); present status in Yunnan unknown; recently observed antlers suggest another population may survive in N Laos ( Schroering, 1995, and in litt.).
