Subfamily Muntiacinae Pocock, 1923 . Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1923:207.

COMMENTS: Relegated to tribal status, in Cervinae, by Groves and Grubb (1987); then treated as a full family by Groves and Grubb (1990). Assignment to Cervinae now supported by evidence in Kraus and Miyamoto (1991); yet generally regarded as a subfamily (Haltenorth, 1963).
