Antilopinae is a subfamily of Bovidae. The gazelles, blackbucks, springboks, gerenuks, dibatags, and Central Asian gazelles are often referred to as True Antelopes and are usually the sole representitives of Antilopinae. The saigas and tibetan antelopes are related to True Antelopes (Antilopinae) and goats (Caprinae) but often placed in their own subfamily Saiginae. The dwarf antelopes are sometimes placed in a separate subfamily Neotraginae.
