According to Bozano et al.,2016, the relationship of taxa amintha and limonia are unclear. Furthermore, taxon concolor was treated as a synonym of burmensis by Nekrutenko,1968 and Kudrna,1975, however, the type locality is the same as limonia, and is quite faraway from that of ssp.burmensis. I tentatively follow Bozano et al.,2016 here. Further taxonomic study is needed.
