The Sri Lankan Spotted Chevrotain or White-spotted Chevrotain (Moschiola meminna) is a species of even-toed ungulate in the Tragulidae family. It has been proposed that the populations of Moschiola meminna in India and Sri Lanka be split into two species Moschiola meminna and Moschiola indica^[2] , however the current accepted name for both populations, according to ITIS^[3] and Catalogue of Life ^[4]is still Moschiola meminna. In Sri Lanka, this species is found in the dry zone of Sri Lanka and is replaced in the wet zone by the Yellow-striped Chevrotain Moschiola kathygre.^[5]
