The dental remains of the porcupine from the Pleistocene deposits of the Lang Trang cave in northern Vietnam are described. Previously, this porcupine was identified as Hystrix brachyura Linnaeus, 1758 or H. indica Kerr, 1792. Based on the analysis of morphometric data, the systematic position of the form from Lang Trang and other large Pleistocene porcupines of Vietnam is determined as Hystrix kiangsenensis Wang, 1931.
描述了来自越南北部朗洞(Lang Trang)洞穴更新世沉积物的豪猪牙齿遗骸。此前,这种豪猪被鉴定为林奈氏棘鼠(Hystrix brachyura Linnaeus, 1758)或印度棘鼠(H. indica Kerr, 1792)。基于形态测量数据分析,确定来自朗洞的形态与越南其他大型更新世豪猪的系统位置为王氏棘鼠(Hystrix kiangsenensis Wang, 1931)。
