 Comments
       
  Comment: Comments: Antilopini includes Ammodorcas, Antidorcas, Antilope, Eudorcas, Gazella, Litocranius, Nanger, Procapra, and Saiga; Neotragini includes Dorcatragus, Madoqua, Neotragus, Oreotragus, Ourebia, and Raphicerus. Neotragini probably paraphyletic if not polyphyletic; Oreotragus and Neotragus distant from other genera, associated with Cephalophus or Aepyceros, respectively, in molecular phylogenies, according to Hassanin and Douzery (1999b) and Matthee and Davis (2001). The latter regarded Antidorcas...
