The results of multiyear studies (1976-1996) of musk deer taxonomy and the published data were generalized. Two groups of subspecies were isolated on the basis of statistical analysis of 13 linear measurements and six indices in 388 skulls from different parts of the range. Group "sibirica" includes four subspecies: Siberian Moschus moschiferus moschiferus F., Verkhoyansk M. moschiferus articticus F., Far-Eastern M. moschiferus turowi Zal., and Sakhalin M. moschiferus sachalinensis F. Group "himalaica" contains three subspecies: Korean M. moschiferus parvipes Hol., Chinese M. moschiferus chrysogaster H., and Himalayan Moschus moschiferus leucogaster H.
对1976年至1996年麝类分类的多年研究结果及已发表的数据进行了总结。基于对分布范围内不同地区388个颅骨的13项线性测量和6项指标的统计分析，划分出了两组亚种。“sibirica”组包括四个亚种：西伯利亚麝Moschus moschiferus moschiferus F.、上扬斯克麝M. moschiferus articticus F.、远东麝M. moschiferus turowi Zal.和萨哈林麝M. moschiferus sachalinensis F.。“himalaica”组包含三个亚种：朝鲜麝M. moschiferus parvipes Hol.、中国麝M. moschiferus chrysogaster H.和喜马拉雅麝Moschus moschiferus leucogaster H.。
