P., Meijaard, E. (2005): Interspecific Variation In Moschiola, The Indian Chevrotain. Raffles Bulletin of Zoology (suppl 12) s 12: 413-422, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.7187409
EB7687EE04322731FC7BFD3AFA37FACF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. – Colour dull brown; stripes and spots are very clear, white; upper row of spots forms a continuous stripe on the shoulder, but disintegrates into spots halfway back along the body, and other longitudinal stripes are broken completely into rows of elongated spots; the three spot-rows across croup and rump partly fused to stripes; crown and forehead dark brown; underside pale beige, becoming creamy medially. Size very large, with long hindlegs; skull broad, especially across rostrum. Diagnostic measurements (in mm): hindfoot> 140, zygomaticbreadth> 50, occipitalheight (measured from basion)> 27.8, width across canine alveoli> 15.2, least maxillary breadth> 14.5, braincase> 34.2.	en	Groves, C.

EB7687EE04322731FC50FAE7FA3BF788.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. – Colour and pattern much as in M. indica, but upper row of spots does notextensively fuse into acontinuous stripe on the shoulder. Size small, hindlegs relatively long (this is not an artifact of differing measurement styles; it can be verified bylaying the hindlegs. Measurements mostly intermediate between the other two species; in that the observed ranges are completely separate (and the means are at least 1 s. d. apart, usually 2 s. d.), the following are diagnostic cf. M. indica (in mm): zygomaticbreadth <50, occipital height (from basion) <27.5, width across canine alveoli <15, braincase breadth <33; and the following is diagnostic cf. M. kathygre new species: hindfoot> 120.	en	Groves, C. P., Meijaard, E. (2005): Interspecific Variation In Moschiola, The Indian Chevrotain.

EB7687EE04312733FC7AFBA0FD47FE82.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. – Coloura muchwarmer, more ochery brownthan other species; spots and stripes are yellowed, not white; at least twotolerably complete longitudinal stripes along flanks, with an elongated spot-row between them, and two spotrows above them; the upper stripe curves round on shoulder to be continuous with the anterior transverse stripes; two bold stripes over the haunch, and a third one further back under the tail; haunch is more densely spotted; crown and nose less darkened; on underside is a sharp differentiation between a white median strip and the pale ochery of the rest of underside; lower halves of the hindlimbs are darker. Size small, hindlegs relatively short. The followingmeasurements are diagnostic cf. M. indica (in mm): tail length max. 26, width across canine alveoli <50, least breadth across maxilla max. 14.2, braincase breadth max. 33; andthefollowing is diagnostic cf. both M. indica and M. meminna: hindfoot length max. 115. Compared to both other species, rostrum breadth is less relative to skull length; compared to M. meminna, bullae are narrower, especially relativeto interbullar distance.	en	Groves, C.
