Discussion: Ozotoceros is the name to be used for Blastoceros Fitzinger, 1860, if Blastoceros is regarded as an invalid emendation of Blastocerus; see Hershkovitz (1958) and Grubb (2000). Included in Odocoileus by Haltenorth (1963:46), Bianchini and Delupi (1979), and Ximenez et al. (1972), but a distinct genus (Groves and Grubb, 1987).
