| Author: | de Blainville, 1816. | | Citation: | Bull. Sci. Soc. Philom. Paris, 1816: 75. | | Type Species: | Antilope bubalis Pallas, 1767 (= Antilope buselaphus Pallas, 1766). | | Comments: | Van Gelder (1977b) included Damaliscus in this genus, but has not been followed by recent authors; see Swanepoel et al. (1980:187). Phylogeographic studies (Arctander et al., 1999; Flagstad et al., 2001) suggest a tree of the following form: (A. lichtensteinii, A. caama)((A. buselaphus buselaphus, A. b. major)(A. b. tora, A. b. swaynei, A. b. cokii, A. b. lelwel)). |
