Notes

This taxon resembles the population from Dong Nai, S. Vietnam and Cotton & Racheli (2006) treated it as a synonym of ssp.duboisi. However, because of the extreme distance between the distributions of intricatus and duboisi, and the lack of specimens from northern to central Vietnam, I tentatively treat intricatus as a distinct subspecies. Further taxonomic study and distributional surveys are needed.
