Distribution. Found in lowland rainforest regions of W & C Africa, including S Nigeria (perhaps one population remaining that may be an intermediate form), S & C Cameroon, S Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea (extinct on Bioko I), Sao Tomé and Principe Is, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, C & N DR Congo, W & C Angola (two disjunct populations). in Bovidae

Subspecies and Distribution. H.a.aquaticusOgilby,1841—WAfricafromGuineaandSierraLeonetoGhana. H.a.bates:Lydekker,1906—Nigeria,Cameroon,andpresumablyneighboringcountries. H. a. cottoni Lydekker, 1906 — Republic of the Congo, DR Congo, and presumably Uganda. The Water Chevrotain reportedly has a disjunct distribution, occurring in coastal forests from West Africa and in the rainforests of Central Africa from Nigeria to DR Congo, marginally entering Uganda. It has been listed for the following countries in Central Africa: Angola (Cabinda), Cameroon, Central African Republic, DR Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, and Uganda (Semliki Valley). A record from Angola's Lunda Norte Province, near the Cassai River,is the southernmost record of the species. The species' status in some countries remains unclear. It is apparently absent from the Republic of Benin and Togo (but the speciesis listed as probable in the Ot Basin in Togo); its supposed occurrence in Guinea Bissau and Senegal remains unsupported by evidence. The species was listed for Sierra Leone, although its presence had been called into question. Photographic evidence seems to clarify that the species occurs in Sierra Leone. In 1850, a specimen was recorded from Gambia, but the present status of the species is unclear. Local people report the species from the Boké Préfecture in NW Guinea, which might be the northernmost area from which the species has been recently reported. Extensive field and market surveys there and in the southern Guinea savanna belt did notfind evidence for the species' presence. in Tragulidae
