[sic; apparently Giao, Tuoc, Dung, Wikramanayake, Amato, Arctander and Mackinnon] 1997 Muntiacus truongsonensis Giao, Tuoc, Eric, Dung et al. [sic; apparently Giao, Tuoc, Dung, Wikramanayake, Amato, Arctander and Mackinnon] 1997 , in: Ha, Vietnam Economic News, Vol. 38: 46 . Type Locality: Vietnam , "in the west of Quang Nam province "; "collected from four houses in three locations in Hien District, West Quang Nam Province , Vietnam … The three locations are: Hien, the District capital, A Tin village, and A Plo village ( 15°56'59''N , 107°34'18''E )" ( Giao et al., 1998 ). The type locality is one of these three places. Vernacular Names: Annamite Muntjac . Distribution: Upland forest in S Laos and C Vietnam ; possibly S China (including SE Yunnan ). Conservation: IUCN – Not Evaluated, Data Deficient DSG recommended, as Truong Son muntjac. Discussion: First described as Caninmuntiacus truongsonensis Giao, Tuoc, Eric [Wikramanayake], Dung et al., in Ha (1997) . Later named as Muntiacus truongsonensis Giao, Tuoc, Dung, Wikramanayake, Amato, Arctander and Mackinnon, 1998 . These authors named a holotype , though technically it is probably a lectotype . The earlier publication satisfies the requirements for availability and the authorship appears to be correctly attributable to Giao et al. (Articles 9 and 10 and Article 50.1.1, respectively, International Code of Zoological Nomenclature; International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999 ). Known distribution discussed by Groves and Schaller (2000) . A skin attributed to M. feae from SE Yunnan ( Sokolov, 1957 ) may represent this species; presumed occurrence of M. crinifrons in Yunnan and Guangdong to Jaingsu ( Shou, 1962:454 ) may also refer to M. truongsonensis .
