Bawean Deer – Axis kuhlii

Axis kuhliiTemminck, 1836

Accepted name, Mammal Species of the World 2005

The name of this deer is widely attributed to Müller, 1840 in Temminck, Verh. Nat. Gesch. Nederland. Overz. Bezitt., Zool., Zoogd. Indisch. Archipel., p. 45, but Corbet and Hill (1992) indicated the earlier publication. This species was further described by Müller and Schlegel, in Temminck, Verh. Nat. Gesch. Nederland. Overz. Bezitt., Zool., Mammalia, p. 223[1845], pl. 44[1842]. Included in A. porcinus by Haltenorth (1963), but treated as a full species by Groves and Grubb (1987) and Geist (1998).
