plesiometacarpal

However, as we emphasize elsewhere all extant plesiometacarpal (i.e., Old World) deer, of which Candiacervus is an example, give birth to one fawn per season (twins are rare to very rare).

The wapiti is the only American representative of the plesiometacarpal deer, to which most Eurasian genera belong, all other American deer being telometacarpal.

For instance, according to his views, the Virginia deer, Odocoileus, and the pampas deer, Ozotoceros, both of them telemetacarpal and having the choanae divided by the vomer, should be considered as representing subgenera of the genus Darm, the typical species of which is the European fallow deer, that is to say, a plesiometacarpal species with undivided posterior nasal aperture.
