Discussion: Ozotoceros is the name to be used for Blastoceros Fitzinger, 1860 , if Blastoceros is regarded as an invalid emendation of Blastocerus ; see Hershkovitz (1958) and Grubb (2000). Included in Odocoileus by Haltenorth (1963:46), Bianchini and Delupi (1979), and Ximenez et al. (1972), but a distinct genus ( Groves and Grubb, 1987).
