Treatment

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).
