Comment:
Comments: Affinities controversial; from cladistic analysis of skeletal characters, distanced from all other Cervidae by Gentry and Hooker (1988), making Cervidae paraphyletic if included; so perhaps to be placed in a different family; alternatively nested within Odocoileinae (= Capreolinae), close to Capreolus, by Randi et al. (1998), using mtDNA studies, and inferred to have lost antlers secondarily
