Notes

The classification of this species and Taxila hainana has long been confused. This is an uncommon and localised species that has so far only been found in N. Vietnam. Most previous records from Laos and many localities in Vietnam as Taxila dora were misidentifications of Taxila hainana. Further distributional research is needed.
