Genus
Hydropotes
Swinhoe, 1870
Both male and female
Hydropotes
have a different antlerless morphology from other cervids.
Gentry and Hooker (1988)
proposed consigning this genus to a separate family.
Randi
et al
. (1998)
identified
Capreolus
by mtDNA analysis as the closest taxa to
Hydropotes
and advocated placing
Hydropotes
in the Subfamily
Capreolinae
. We follow
Grubb (2005)
and classified the genus in
Hydropotinae
.
