Abstract

When the book Wild mammals of Myanmar (Tun Yin 1993) was published, a total of 252 mammal species were reported. Since that publication, numerous new species have been described, taxonomic revisions published, and additional distribution records produced that have expanded Myanmar’s mammals considerably. Therefore, we aimed to provide an updated checklist of the mammals of Myanmar, which includes the scientific and common names, global and Myanmar distributions, remarks on taxonomy, and conservation information including the IUCN Red List status and legal protection status under The Conservation of Biodiversity and Protected Areas Law 2018 of Myanmar. Our new checklist includes 365 (33 marine and 332 terrestrial) mammal species belonging to 13 orders and 49 families. We also confirmed that Myanmar is home to at least nine endemic mammal species. Our results highlight the areas that require further exploration to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Myanmar’s diverse fauna.

缅甸的哺乳动物：附加说明的清单

当《缅甸野生哺乳动物》（Tun Yin，1993 年）一书出版时，共报告了 252 种哺乳动物。自该书刊出以来，又有许多新物种被描述，分类学修订版也已出版，还有更多的分布记录，这些都大大扩展了缅甸的哺乳动物种类。因此，我们旨在提供一份最新的缅甸哺乳动物名录，其中包括学名和俗名、全球和缅甸的分布情况、分类学备注以及保护信息，包括《世界自然保护联盟红色名录》（IUCN Red List）中的状态以及缅甸《2018 年生物多样性保护和保护区法》（The Conservation of Biodiversity and Protected Areas Law 2018）中的法律保护状态。我们的新清单包括隶属于 13 目 49 科的 365 种（33 种海洋哺乳动物和 332 种陆生哺乳动物）哺乳动物。我们还确认，缅甸至少有 9 种特有的哺乳动物。我们的研究结果强调了需要进一步探索的领域，以便更全面地了解缅甸多样的动物群。
