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.
