Discussion: 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 (1999 b) 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 is still paraphyletic: ( Antidorcas ) (( Eudorcas , Nanger ) (( Gazella dorcas group) ( Antilope , Gazella subgutturosa group))) ( Vassart et al, 1995). Using 74 morphological characters, Groves' (2000 b) cladogram was ( Litocranius )(( Saiga , Procapra ) ( Ammodorcas , Antidorcas ) ( Gazella , Eudorcas , Nanger , Antilope )). In an earlier study without Saiga ( Groves, 1997 c) , the cladogram was ( Procapra ) (( Antidorcas ) (( Ammodorcas , Litocranius ) (gazelles + Antilope ))).
