A small ape of the genus Hylobates inhabiting forests in S Asia (6)

I believe the answer is:

gibbon

(Other definitions for gibbon that I've seen before include "Primate" , "MONKEY" , "author of Decline and Fall, etc" , "Large tailless ape" , "Ape -- author of the 14 15 of the 5 7" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
