Rhinopithecus

Synonyms

• Presbytiscus Pocock, 1924: 330
  • Type species: Rhinopithecus avunculus Dollman, 1912, by original designation.

Taxonomic note

Included in Pygathrix by Groves (1970) and Szalay & Delson (1979: 404); but see Jablonski & Peng (1993) and Groves (2001c), who recognized that the two are sister-groups but retained them as separate genera. Jablonski & Peng (1993) recognized Presbytiscus as a valid subgenus.
