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.
