Tragelaphus angasii: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (cd)
Comment:
Comments: The name angasii is usually attributed to Gray, because Angas (1849) stated "Mr Gray has named this species after my father, George Fife Angas, Esq, of South Australia" but this is insufficient to make Gray the author (Article 50.1.1, International Code of Zoological Nomenclature; International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999)
