Treatment

[Cerophorus] quadricornis de Blainville 1816 , Bull. Sci. Soc. Philom. Paris, 1816: 75.

Type Locality: "native de l'Inde"; "plains of Peninsular India " (Lydekker, 1914 b:222) .

Vernacular Names: Four-horned Antelope.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Tetracerus quadricornis subsp. quadricornis de Blainville 1816

Subspecies Tetracerus quadricornis subsp. iodes Hodgson 1847

Subspecies Tetracerus quadricornis subsp. subquadricornutus Elliot 1839

Distribution: India, Nepal (Terai).

Conservation: CITES – Appendix III ( Nepal); IUCN – Vulnerable.

Discussion: The type of Cervus labipes F. Cuvier, 1832 is not a deer from the Philippines but a female Four-horned Antelope ( Sundevall, 1846) . The incorrect original spelling Antilope sub-4-cornutus Elliot was justifiably emended to subquadricornutus by Hodgson (1847; Calcutta Journal of Natural History, 8:89). Revised by Groves (2003).
