Mammalia - Bovidae

Taxonomy
Hippotragini was named by Sundevall (1845) [in Retzius and Lovén]. It is extant.

It was reranked as the subfamily Hippotraginae by Grubb (2001) and Agnarsson and May-Collado (2008).

It was assigned to Bovidae by Bouvrain (1998), Grubb (2001) and Agnarsson and May-Collado (2008); to Hippotraginae by Gentry (2010); and to Antilopinae by Hassanin and Douzery (1999), Hassanin and Douzery (2003) and Calamari (2021).
