I noticed several mistakes w.r.t author citations. I can't check all of them right now, but remember that parentheses around an author citation mean that it was originally described in a different genus and also that the author does not change (other than the parentheses) when the genus is transferred.

For instance, in the synonyms:

• Antilope buselaphus Pallas, 1766
• Antilope bubalis Pallas, 1767

Since Pallas described them in the genus Antilope, there should be no parentheses.

• B. buselaphus would have the author citation (Pallas, 1766), maybe (Pallas, 1766) Lichtenstein, 1814 but certainly not just (Lichtenstein, 1814)

For the subspecies

• A. b. cokii Günther, 1884 — parentheses are incorrect as Günther described it as Alcelaphus cokii, i.e., within the same genus.
• A. b. tora Gray, 1873 also should not have parentheses.
