Explanation:
我看到网上有这样一个名称：lesser mouse deer,中文是鼠鹿，小鹿，小鼷鹿，可以参照它的译法，把lesser 翻成“小”。

Just a suggestion. Let's see what others say.

看到 shang 的答案后，我查了美国传统词典：
Chevrotains:
Any of several small, deerlike, hornless ruminants of the genera Hyemoschus and Tragulus native to the tropical rain forests of central Africa, India, and southeast Asia.
鼷鹿原产于中非、印度和东南亚的热带雨林区的几种 水鼷鹿属或 鼷鹿属动物中任何一种，该动物小而似鹿且无角
Also called: mouse deer

看来就是 chevrotain 就是 mouse deer.
那么：Lesser malayan chevrotains 应该就是 小马来鼷鹿
