Comments: | Boselaphini includes Boselaphus and Tetraceros; Bovini includes Bison, Bos, Bubalus, Pseudoryx and Syncerus; and Tragelaphini includes Taurotragus and Tragelaphus. Tetracerotidae, as Tetracerotini, has priority over Boselaphini but has only been used since 1899 as junior to Boselaphini so should not replace it (Article 35.5, International Code of Zoological Nomenclature; International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999). Strepsiceriae as Strepsicerotini has priority over Tragelaphini, but the junior synonym is in general use and should continue to be used, until an appropriate submission is made to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. Subtribe Pseudoryina is wrongly constructed and should be Pseudorygina; inadvertantly redescribed as tribe Pseudorygini by Grubb (2001b). Eubovini Geraads, 1992, is unavailable (not based on a recognised genus). Tribe Bovini revised by Groves (1981d) and Geraads (1992). |
