Fair Brocket Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Cervidae Genus: Mazama Species: M. "ochroleuca" Binomial name Mazama "ochroleuca" The fair brocket (Mazama "ochroleuca"), also known as the white brocket deer or veado branco to locals, is a possible species of brocket deer from the south-central Amazon near the Aripuanã River in Brazil.[1] At present no authority (notably the IUCN) beyond the describers themselves recognize it as valid. Disregarding this, the presently used scientific name is invalid, as the formal description only has been published online,[1] and consequently does not comply with chapter 3, article 8 of the ICZN code.[2]
