Alcelaphinae Brooke 1876 View in CoL , in: Wallace. Geog. Distr. Anim.: 224.

Genera: 4 genera with 10 species:

Genus Alcelaphus de Blainville 1816 (3 species with 6 subspecies)

Genus Beatragus Heller 1912 (1 species)

Genus Connochaetes Lichtenstein 1812 (2 species with 5 subspecies)

Genus Damaliscus Sclater and Thomas 1894 (4 species with 5 subspecies)

Discussion: Living genera assigned to two subtribes by Vrba (1997), Alcelaphini (including Alcelaphus , Beatragus , and Connochaetes ) and Damaliscini (includes only Damaliscus ), but retention of flehmen behavior, lost in Alcelaphus and Damaliscus ( Estes, 1999) , and karyology suggests Beatragus is sister group of Alcelaphus plus Damaliscus ( Kumamoto et al., 1996; Robinson et al., 1991).
