 Taxonomy
Following Shackleton and Lovari (1997) the genus Capra includes 9 species: Capra aegagrus (Erxleben 1977), Capra falconeri (Wagner 1839), Capra nubiana (Cuvier 1825), Capra pyrenaica (Schinz 1838), Capra sibirica (Pallas 1776), Capra walie (Ruppel 1835), Capra caucasica (Guldenstaed e Pallas 1783), Capra cylindricornis (Blyth 1841) and Capra ibex (Linneus 1758).
This is because all forms belonging to the genus Capra, including the crossbreeds, are inter-fecund.
They are therefore considered belonging to different species just for differences in the morphology and the behaviour due to the geographic isolation and to the different environmental conditions in which the different forms live (Gauthier et al., 1991).

 The Nilgiri Tahr Foundation, Kerala, India
In fact, the first member of this genus to be recognized scientifically was the Himalayan tahr, and it was giver the name Capra Jemlahica in 1827 by H. Smith (Lydekker, 1913)thus including it in the same genus as the goats (including ibex (C. ibex and markhor (C. falconeri)).
Interestingly, Ogilby (1838) based the original name for Nilgiri tahr, (Kemas hylocrius) on the understanding that it's local name was "jungle sheep" (jungle or wood corresponding to the root "hyla" and the Greek "krios" which means ram).
This apparent misidentification notwithstanding, "tahr" is the accepted spelling for the Himalayan species, and is the only spelling used in reference to the Nilgiri and Arabian species.

 The Nilgiri Tahr Foundation, Kerala, India
In fact, the first member of this genus to be recognized scientifically was the Himalayan tahr, and it was giver the name Capra Jemlahica in 1827 by H. Smith (Lydekker, 1913)thus including it in the same genus as the goats (including ibex (C. ibex and markhor (C. falconeri)).
Thus, the current view is that there are three species of tahr, the Himalayan tahr (Hemitragus jenlahicus), the Nilgiri tahr (H. hylocrius), and the Arabian tahr (H. Jayakari; Corbett, 1978; Honaki et al., 1982; Novak and Paradise, 1983).
Gervais was apparently the first to recognize the affinities between Himalayan and Nilgiri tahr, as he adopted the then current name for Nilgiri tahr in naming the Himalayan tahr Kemas jemlaicus (Lydekker, 1913).
