Aders's duiker, also known as nunga in Swahili, kunga marara in Kipokomo and harake in Giriama, is a small, forest-dwelling duiker found only in Zanzibar and Kenya. It may be a subspecies of the red, Harvey's, or Peters's duiker or a hybrid of a combination of these. A 2022 study proposed to move C. adersi into its own new genus, Leucocephalophus. It is named after W. Mansfield Aders, a zoologist with the Zanzibar Government Service.
