THE STATUS OF MUSK-DEER FROM ANHUI PROVINCE, CHINA

Abstract

Abstract: In 1982 the known range of the Musk-deer(genus Moschus)in Chinawas extended to Anhui Province.The newly discovered population was allocated to a new taxon,Moschus moschiferus anhuiensis Wang,Hu& Yan,1982. Although traditionally the genus Moschus was regarded as monotypic(Ellerman& Morrison-Scott,1951),three species were distinguished indetail by Flerov(1952)and Gao(1963).The latter author provided detaileddescriptions of the three species,and since then all commentators have con-ceded that this general picture is correct.

Key words: Taxonomy, Moschus moschiferus, Moschus berezovskii, Moschus sifanicus, Moschus chrysogaster, Moschus fuscus
