Genus II. A PYCEROS. 
Type. 
Afpyceros, Sund. Pecora, K. Vet.-Ak. Handl. 1845, p. 271 (1847) . . AX. MeLampus. 
Size large. No anteorbital glands. ‘Tail fairly long. False hoofs absent. 
Hind feet with glandular tufts of hair placed shortly above the hoofs. 
Skull without supraorbital pits or anteorbital fosse; lachrymal vacuities 
small. 
Horns of male medium or rather long, broadly lyrate, half-ringed, slightly 
compressed. Female hornless. 
Range of the Genus. Southern Africa, northwards to Angola on the west, 
and to the Southern Soudan on the east. 
Of this genus we are at present prepared to recognize only two species— 
the Common Pallah of Southern and Eastern Africa (4. melampus) and that 
of Angola (4. petersi). The latter may be readily distinguished from the 
ordinary form by having a prominent blackish mark running down the upper 
surface of the muzzle.
