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).
