摘要: 赤麂(Muntiacus muntjak)又名印度麂或吠鹿,广泛分布于亚洲南部的热带和亚热带地区,为麂属中数量最多,分布最广的一种。同时又是具有较高经济价值的毛皮兽。迄今,本种已记载过15个亚种,其中7个分布于中国大陆(Ellerman和Morrison-Scott,1951),8个见于东南亚诸岛(Chasen,1940)。近来,本文作者之一的Groves和他的同事Grubb又将这15个亚种归并为8个(论文已交付出版)。

Abstract: The present paper deals with the taxonomy of the Indian muntjac in Yunnan,China. After examing more than the sixty specimens of Muntiacus muntjak from over the great part of the area of Yunnan, we think that the population of M.muntjak living in the place cannot be included in M. m. vaginalis, we treat it as two new subspecies, which are M. m. menglalis and M. m. yunnanensis. The former is distributed in the south of 22°30'N.; and the latter north of 23°10'N.
