The discovery of the leaf deer in the hill forests of Myanmar led us to conjecture that the species should also occur in the adjoining hill forests of Arunachal Pradesh in northeast India, a region whose wildlife has remained poorly explored due to remoteness and difficult mountainous terrain.
Information on the possible occurrence of the leaf deer was first collected in April 2002 by Aparajita Datta while conducting a study of hunting patterns among tribal communities in eastern Arunachal.
This discovery extends the distribution of the fl barking deer further south (27° N to 27°30' N) and west (96 °30' E to 97 °30' E) of its previous known distribution between 97°30' E, 27°45' N and 98°30' E, 27°35' N).

This was enough to show that the deer was genetically different from both the giant and red muntjac species, although the three share parts of their range in the upper Annamite region.
