Establishes that
Concolor-group gibbons are at least as distinct, morphologically, from the others
as are the Siamangs, so that a third subgenus or genus (Nomascus) has
to be recognised in addition to Hylobates and Symphalangus.

1971 Geographic and individual variation in Bornean Gibbons,

All Bornean gibbons
belong to a single species and subspecies, Hylobates lar muelleri. -
It appears that some mislabelling, and poor cleaning of specimens, misled me
into missing both the distinctiveness of albibarbis and the geographic
variation in the rest.

Patzi, a female gibbon from northeastern Vietnam, that lived
in Tierpark Berlin from 1962 to 1986. She was described and discussed by Geissmann
(1989, Int.J.Primat., 10:455-476). She may have belonged to Nomascus
concolor nasutus (see Groves, 2001)
