Hylobates moloch (silvery Javan gibbon)

Mammalia - Primates - Hylobatidae

Taxonomy
Simia moloch was named by Audebert (1797) [also said to be 1798, but Cabrera seems pretty sure of himself and it is senior to leucisca and cinerea in any event]. It is extant.

It was recombined as Hylobates moloch by Cabrera (1930), Schultz (1944), Hooijer (1962), Fooden (1969) and Thinh et al. (2010).
