Genus Hydropotes Swinhoe, 1870 View in CoL View at ENA
Both male and female Hydropotes have a different antlerless morphology from other cervids. Gentry and Hooker (1988) proposed consigning this genus to a separate family. Randi et al. (1998) identified Capreolus by mtDNA analysis as the closest taxa to Hydropotes and advocated placing Hydropotes in the Subfamily Capreolinae . We follow Grubb (2005) and classified the genus in Hydropotinae .
