Discussion: Muntiacus Rafinesque is a nomen nudum, but was conserved by Opinion 460 ( International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1957 b). Revised by Groves and Grubb (1990). Six new species named from 1982 through 1999. Megamuntiacus treated as a synonym of Muntiacus by Amato et al. (2000), Giao et al. (1998), and Schaller and Vrba (1996). Studies of mtDNA sequences by Wang and Lan (2000) suggested the following phylogeny: ( reevesi , vuquangensis ) ((( feae ) ( gongshanensis , crinifrons )) (muntjac )), indicating Muntiacus would be paraphyletic if Megamuntiacus were regarded as valid.
