Notes

This taxon is considered to be intermediate between the nominotypical subspecies and ssp.kuangtungensis. The population appears to be rather variable and has unstable markings. It might be included in the nominotypical subspecies or ssp.kuangtungensis, however due to the small number of the examined specimens, I tentatively treat it as ssp.teruyoae. Further taxonomic study is needed.
