Notes

The taxonomic status of populations from Laos and Vietnam is still unclear. Callaghan (2009) treated it as the nominotypical subspecies, but the markings on the underside are brown, not black. I follow Monastyrskii & Devyatkin (2015) and tentatively treat it as ssp.argentea. Further taxonomic study is needed.
