Treatment

Bunopithecus Matthew and Granger 1923 , Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 48: 588.

Type Species: Bunopithecus sericus Matthew and Granger 1923

Synonyms: Hoolock Haimoff et al. 1984 .

Species and subspecies: 1 species with 2 subspecies:

Species Bunopithecus hoolock (Harlan 1834)

Subspecies Bunopithecus hoolock subsp. hoolock Harlan 1834

Subspecies Bunopithecus hoolock subsp. leuconedys Groves 1967

Discussion: This genus will have to be renamed and redefined, as Bunopithecus sericus is outside the modern gibbon clade and the Hoolock gibbon does not belong to the same genus ( Groves, 2001 c); this was the reason why Groves (2001 c) did not take the step of elevating the subgenera of Hylobates to generic rank.
