Discussion: For use of Capreolinae, see Lister et al. (1998). The widely used term Neocervinae Carette, 1922 includes Odocoileini and Rangiferini and as it is not based on any genus is an unavailable name. Tribe Alcini is now to be spelt Alceini, approved by Opinion 1081 (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1977 c). Allocation of genera to tribes is as follows: Alceini ( Alces), Capreolini ( Capreolus), Odocoileini ( Blastocerus, Mazama, Odocoileus, Ozotoceros), Odocoileini or Rangiferini ( Hippocamelus, Pudu), Rangiferini ( Rangifer). Webb (2000) transferred Hippocamelus and Pudu to Rangiferini.
