GENUS Naemorhedus
| Author: | C. H. Smith, 1827. | | Citation: | In Griffith et al., Animal Kingdom, 5: 352. | | Type Species: | Antilope goral Hardwicke, 1825. | | Comments: | The original spelling is "Naemorhedus". Naemorhaedus, Nemorhaedus, Nemorhedus, Nemorrhaedus, and Nemorrhedus are later spellings. If one of these is in prevailing usage (Article 33.2.3.1, International Code of Zoological Nomenclature; International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999), it can be deemed to be a justified emendation, but this has yet to be demonstrated. Reviewed by Dolan (1963) and Groves and Grubb (1985) who included Capricornis in this genus; revised by Groves and Grubb (in prep.), who once again confined Naemorhedus to gorals and separated griseus from caudatus. |
