Treatment

Cephalophus natalensis A. Smith 1834 , South African Quart. J., 2: 217.

Type Locality: South Africa, KwaZulu-Natal, "Port Natal" (Durban).

Vernacular Names: Red Duiker.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Cephalophus natalensis subsp. natalensis A. Smith 1834

Subspecies Cephalophus natalensis subsp. harveyi Thomas 1893

Distribution: E Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, S Somalia, South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal), Swaziland, E and S Tanzania, and E Zambia; sight records from E Ethiopia.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (cd) as C. natalensis and C. harveyi .

Discussion: Ansell (1972:34) included harveyi and weynsi , and placed the extended natalensis with adersi and callipygus in a superspecies; Grubb and Groves (2002) and Van Vuuren and Robinson (2001) regarded natalensis + harveyi as distinct from callipygus + weynsi (and adersi ), and treated harveyi as a subspecies of natalensis , though it was regarded as a species separate from C. natalensis by East et al. (1999), Kingdon (1982:297) and Cotterill (2003 b).
