Author: | Ritgen, 1824. | Citation: | Natureichen Eintheilung der Säugethiere: 33. | Type Species: | Simia maimon Linnaeus, 1766; Simia mormon Alstromer, 1766 (= Simia sphinx Linnaeus, 1758). | Comments: | Not a synonym of Papio (see Groves, 1989), pace McKenna and Bell (1997). Delson and Napier (1976:46) considered these two species in genus Papio, subgenus Papio; placed in subgenus Mandrillus by Dandelot (1974:9). Mandrillus considered a full genus by Groves (1989, 2001c); placed as a subgenus of Cercocebus by Goodman et al. (1998). |
