对长臂猿4个亚属中3个属的7只长臂猿的线粒体DNA（mtDNA）进行了896 bp的序列分析，结果与以往长臂猿亚属的单系性研究一致，但各亚属间的亲缘关系尚不明确。分析的一个引人注目的结果是Kloss的gills（H。klossii）。由于其形态上的相似性，Kloss氏长臂猿被认为是长臂猿亚属的一个最初分支。然而，我们的分子数据强烈表明，Kloss的gibratum物种最近的亚属Hylobates。
We analyzed the 896 base-pair (bp) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences for seven gibbons, representative of three out of four subgenera, The result from our molecular analysis is consistent with previous studies as to the monophyly of subgenus Hylobates species, yet the relationship among subgenera remains slightly ambiguous. A striking result of the analysis is the phylogenetic location of Kloss's gibbon (H. klossii). Kloss's gibbon has been considered to be an initial off-shoot of the subgenus Hylobates because of its morphological primitiveness. However, our molecular data strongly suggest that Kloss's gibbon speciated most recently within the subgenus Hylobates.
