 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN - Endangered as C. caucasica, Vulnerable as C. cylindricornis  
    Comments: Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951:407) recognised two taxa, C. caucasica with synonym cylindricornis, and C. ibex severtzovi; Heptner et al. (1961) recognised C. caucasica with synonym severtzovi, and C. cylindricornis; Sokolov and Tembotov (1993) recognised these three taxa as subspecies in a single species and their classification is followed here
