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
).
