 Comments
       
  Comment: Comments: Revised by Groves (1981c), reviewed by Ferguson (1981) and Yom-Tov et al. (1995, Mammalian Species, 491). Includes pelzelnii; see Gentry (1972:89); Haltenorth (1963:112) regarded it as a separate species. Due to differences in spelling Gazella dorcas massaesyla Cabrera, 1928 is not preoccupied by Antilope (Dorcas) massoessilia Pomel, 1895 = Gazella (or Nanger) atlantica Bourguignat, 1870  
    Status: CITES - Appendix III (Tunisia); U.S. ESA - Endangered as G. d. massaesyla and G. d. pelzelni (sic); IUCN - Vulnerable as G. dorcas, not evaluated as G. d. pelzelnii  
    CITES: Added to Appendix III by Algeria and Tunisia, adopted at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (Doha, 2010)
