Papio cynocephalus (yellow baboon)
Taxonomy
Simia cynocephala was named by Linnaeus (1766) [Apparently attributed by Linnaeus (1766) to Brisson (1756, p. 191), but Brisson's 1756 names are treated as unavailable by most authors (e.g., Fooden 2007).]. It is extant.
It was recombined as Papio cynocephalus by Ruff (2003).
