Abstract
Historically, people made a mistake on species identification on musk deer from Shanxi population. In order to further confirm the species of this population, we sequenced its mitochondrial genome and conducted the species identification. Moreover, the genetic relationships among the sister species of musk deer were also investigated. The results showed that the species of musk deer from the Shanxi population was Moschus berezovskii, and M. anhuiensis was an independent species that had a very close relationship with M. berezovskii. Additionally, M. anhuiensis and M. berezovskii might have experienced a recent history of reproductive isolation.
