312. Tragulus kanchil (Raffles, 1822)

Common name: Lesser Indo-Malayan Chevrotain Myanmar name:

Distribution: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. In Myanmar, recorded in Tanintharyi Region (Htaung Pru RF and Lampi Marine NP).

Remarks: The species was described as Javan Chevrotain or lesser mouse deer T. javanicus in “ Wild Mammals of Myanmar ”. However, this species is only distributed in Indonesia. Thus, the lesser mouse deer of Myanmar could be T. kanchil or T. kanchil lampensis ( Bisi et al. 2019); however, further taxonomic study is needed.
