The population from N.E.Vietnam (Ha Giang etc.) appears to be the nominotypical subspecies. The populations from other parts of N.Vietnam to C.Vietnam appear to be intermediate between ssp.flegyas and ssp.allica. These areas seem to be a transition area. Further taxonomic and distributional studies are needed.
