284. Urva auropunctata (Hodgson, 1836) View in CoL

Common name: Small Indian Mongoose

Myanmar name:

Distribution: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Jordan, Nepal, Oman, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. In Myanmar, no recent record of this species could be due to the misidentification of this species with U. javanica because of their similar morphology; however, it is possibly distributed in Chin State and central to the southern area.

Remarks: Due to taxonomic uncertainty, a revision based on molecular analysis is needed for this species in Myanmar.
