Conservation: CITES – Appendix III ( Tunisia); U.S. ESA – Endangered as G. d. massaesyla and G. d. pelzelni (sic); IUCN – Vulnerable as G. dorcas , not evaluated as G. d. pelzelnii.

Discussion: Revised by Groves (1981 c), reviewed by Ferguson (1981) and Yom-Tov et al. (1995, Mammalian Species, 491). Includes pelzelnii; see Gentry (1972:89); Haltenorth (1963:112) regarded it as a separate species. Due to differences in spelling Gazella dorcas massaesyla Cabrera, 1928 is not preoccupied by † Antilope (Dorcas) massoessilia Pomel, 1895 = † Gazella (or † Nanger ) atlantica Bourguignat, 1870.
