Description
Oreotragus A. Smith 1834
Oreotragus A. Smith 1834, South African Quart. J., 2: 212.
Type Species: Antilope oreotragus Zimmermann 1783
Species and subspecies: 1 species with 5 subspecies:
Species Oreotragus oreotragus (Zimmermann 1783)
Subspecies Oreotragus oreotragus subsp. oreotragus Zimmermann 1783
Subspecies Oreotragus oreotragus subsp. aceratos Noack 1899
Subspecies Oreotragus oreotragus subsp. saltatrixoides Wagner 1855
Subspecies Oreotragus oreotragus subsp. stevensoni Roberts 1946
Subspecies Oreotragus oreotragus subsp. tyleri Hinton 1921
Discussion: Oreotragus distant from other Neotragine genera and associated with Cephalophus in molecular phylogenies, according to Hassanin and Douzery (1999 b) and Matthee and Davis (2001). Not shown to share any synapomorphies with Cephalophus and perhaps should be restored to tribe Oreotragini.
