Aepyceros is a genus of African antelope that contains a single living species, the impala. It is the only known member of the tribe Aepycerotini.[1]
Two extinct species are known, Aepyceros datoadeni[2] and Aepyceros shungurae.[3] A third species, Aepyceros premelampus has been transferred to a new genus, Afrotragus.[4]
Etymology
The generic name Aepyceros (lit. ‘high-horned’) comes from Ancient Greek Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "lang"., 'high, steep') + Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "lang"., 'horn').[5][6]
