Abstract
Abstract Authors and dates of publication of family-group names based on extant bovids are reviewed. Tragelaphini is found to be attributable to Blyth, 1863, not Jerdon, 1874; Cephalophinae to Blyth, 1863, not Gray, 1871; Reduncinae to Knottnerus-Meyer, 1907, not Lydekker and Blaine, 1914; Alcelaphinae to Brooke in Wallace, 1876, not de Rochebrune, 1883; Hippotraginae to Sundevall in Retzius and Loven, 1845, not Retzius and Loven, 1845, or Brooke in Wallace, 1876; Naemorhedini to Brooke in Wallace, 1876, not Pilgrim, 1939; and Ovibovini to Gray, 1872, not Gill, 1872. The authors, dates, and original spelling for other names also must be corrected. Hippotraginae must be validated by dating the genus Hippotragus from Sundevall in Retzius and Loven, 1845, with type by monotypy H. equinus, not from Sundevall, 1846. Adenotinae (and Eleotraginae), Connochaetini, Nesotragini, Strepsicerotini, Sylvicaprinae, and Tetracerini are senior synonyms of Reduncinae, Alcelaphini, Neotragini, Tragelaphini, and Boselaphini,...
