GENUS Hippotragus

Author:Sundevall, 1845.
Citation:Öfversigt. Kongl.-Vetensk. Akad. Förhand., 1845(parts 2 and 3): 31.
Type Species:Antilope equina É. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1803.
Comments:Hippotragusis usually quoted from Sundevall, 1846, K. Svenska Vet.-Akad. Handl. Stockholm, for 1844, p. 196. The earlier name, cited above, was declared to be unavailable, and while it remained unavailable, Hippotragus Sundevall, 1845 (in Retzius and Lovén, Archiv. Skand. Beitr. Naturgesch., Griefswald, 1:445) was the available name. Grubb (2001c) applied to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature to conserve Hippotragus Sundevall, 1845, and this action has now been taken (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 2003c). Sister species in the genus are said to be leucophaeus and niger (Groves and Westwood, 1995), equinus and niger (Robinson et al., 1996), or equinus and leucophaeus (Vrba and Gatesy, 1994).
