Tragelaphus spekii: Comments
Comment:
Status: CITES - Appendix III (Ghana); IUCN - Lower Risk (nt)
Comment:
Comments: Speke (1863) described and illustrated the 'nzoé' or 'water-boc' and reported in a footnote that Sclater had named the species Tragelaphus Spekii [sic], but this is insufficient to make Sclater the author of the name (Article 50.1.1, International Code of Zoological Nomenclature; International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999). Subspecific systematics from Ansell (1972:22)
Comment:
CITES: Removed from Appendix III by Ghana, removed in accordance with CITES Article XVI, paragraph 3, effective May 03, 2007
