Eudorcas thomsonii Günther 1884 , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 5, 14: 427.

Type Locality: "the range of country from Kilimanjaro to Baringo and at various heights above 6000' [1829 m]"; restricted to "Kilimanjaro district" (Lydekker, 1914 b:84) in Kenya (G. M. Allen, 1939:526) .

Vernacular Names: Thomson's Gazelle.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Eudorcas thomsonii subsp. thomsonii Günther 1884

Subspecies Eudorcas thomsonii subsp. nasalis Lönnberg 1908

Distribution: S and C Kenya, N Tanzania.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (cd).

Discussion: Revised by Brooks (1961). Groves (1969 a) included thomsonii in Gazella cuvieri ; but Gentry (1972:88, 90-91) gave reasons for rejecting this classification. Groves (1985 a, 1988) and Rebholz and Harley (1999) included thomsonii in E. rufifrons but Gentry (1964) presented evidence to show they are distinct.
