The subspecies is distinguished by sharply distinct dark and light color forms, both having a ring of white hair around the face, with hands and feet white sometimes as far as the wrists and ankles, and the hair much longer than in other subspecies.[2] The dark form is very dark chocolate brown, the tips of the hairs being blackish and their bases silvery-brown, whereas the light form is creamy-white, with the basal one-quarter to one-third of the hairs light gray.[2] Its range is confined to northern and part of northeastern Thailand.[2] In the southwest part of its range, its distribution abuts that of the pileated gibbon, Hylobates pileatus.[2]
