This specimen was originally assigned to Antilopini Indet. by Leakey (1965) and later assigned to Antidorcas recki by Gentry and Gentry (1978a). Original information indicated that this specimen was located in Nairobi. This specimen is likely within the material that was repatriated to Dar in 2011, but this has yet to be confirmed. |
