Antilopinae
Accepted name, Mammal Species of the World 2005
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, Gazella, Litocranius, Madoqua, Ourebia and Raphicerus as members of a clade. Possibly Oreotragus and Neotragus to be excluded from Neotragini and remaining neotragine genera placed in Gazellini. Antilope, Eudorcas, Gazella, and Nanger may form a clade within Antilopini, sharing translocation of autosome to X chromosome, while within this clade, relationships suggest Gazella sensu stricto ...
