Nesotragus is a genus of dwarf antelope comprising two species, endemic to Africa, and formerly included in the genus Neotragus. Recent nucleic acid studies however, suggest that the two species here included in the genus Nesotragus are not closely related to Neotragus, and should be reassigned.[1]
