The Northern White-cheeked Gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys) is a species of gibbon native to Vietnam, Laos, and the Yunnan province of China.[1] It is closely related to the Southern White-cheeked Gibbon (Nomascus siki), with which it was previously considered conspecific.[1] The females of the two species are virtually indistinguishable in appearance.[3]
