Would these extinct elephants have been related to mammoths? Or is "Palaeoloxodon antiquus" the scientific term for a type of mammoth?

I checked it out on the Net. Apparently they were giant elephants more closely related to the Indian Elephant than the African Elephant and more closely related to both than to mammoths.
