 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN - Critically Endangered as Damaliscus hunteri  
    Comments: Included in Damaliscus lunatus by Haltenorth (1963:100). Formerly in Beatragus; see Ansell (1972:54); retained in Beatragus by Gentry and Gentry (1978) and Gentry (1990). Differs from Damaliscus (and Alcelaphus) in independent fusions of formerly acrocentric chromosomes (Kumamoto et al., 1996)
