It was first described from introduced populations in the Mariana Islands, hence the specific name. The Philippine brown deer is relatively smaller than its relative, the sambar deer. The Philippine deer is endemic to the Philippines, where it occurs in the islands of Luzon, Polillo and Catanduanes, Mindoro, Samar, Mindanao and Leyte.
