Discussion:
Boselaphini includes
Boselaphus
and
Tetraceros
;
Bovini
includes
Bison
,
Bos
,
Bubalus
,
Pseudoryx
and
Syncerus
; and Tragelaphini includes
Taurotragus
and
Tragelaphus
.
Tetracerotidae
, as Tetracerotini, has priority over Boselaphini but has only been used since 1899 as junior to Boselaphini so should not replace it (Article 35.5, International Code of Zoological Nomenclature;
International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999
). Strepsiceriae as Strepsicerotini has priority over Tragelaphini, but the junior synonym is in general use and should continue to be used, until an appropriate submission is made to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. Subtribe
Pseudoryina
is wrongly constructed and should be
Pseudorygina
; inadvertantly redescribed as tribe
Pseudorygini
by
Grubb (2001

Geraads, 1992
