| Abstract: | Contrary to usual practice, the generic nomen Bunopithecus is not applicable to hoolock gibbons. We recount the history of its application and explain why it is spurious. We supply a new generic name, list the characters and content of the genus, and compare it to the other 3 genera of the Hylobatidae. |
| Keywords: | Hylobatidae gibbon Bunopithecus Hoolock taxonomy nomenclature |
