The recent discovery that the hoolock gibbon (Hylobates hoolock [Harlan, 1834]) has a karyotype distinct from all other hylobatids provides a new and strong motive for revising gibbon taxonomy and establishing hoolocks in a separate, higher taxon. Revising Groves's taxonomy of 1972, we propose that hoolock, along with the fossil species sericus, occupy a subgenus, Bunopithecus. With the newly added taxon, the genus Hylobates would thus contain four subgenera: Bunopithecus, Hylobates, Nomascus, and Symphalangus.
最近发现，合趾猿（Hylobates hoolock [Harlan, 1834]）的核型与所有其他长臂猿不同，这为修订长臂猿分类学和将合趾猿确立为一个单独的更高分类群提供了新的有力依据。我们对 1972 年格罗夫斯的分类法进行修订，提出合趾猿与化石种 Sericus 一起占据一个亚属，Bunopithecus。加入新的分类群后，长臂猿属将包含四个亚属：Bunopithecus、Hylobates、Nomascus 和 Symphalangus。
