Discussion: Van Gelder (1977 b) included Damaliscus in this genus, but has not been followed by recent authors; see Swanepoel et al. (1980:187). Phylogeographic studies ( Arctander et al., 1999; Flagstad et al., 2001) suggest a tree of the following form: ( A. lichtensteinii , A. caama )(( A. buselaphus buselaphus , A. b. major)(A. b. tora, A. b. swaynei , A. b. cokii, A. b. lelwel )).
