Considerable individual variation throughout most of range renders defining of geographical races difficult; apparent general clinal trend in certain characters, such as increase in size and decrease in amount of white in tail from N to S, but no constant differences between populations; variation in characters used to define races requires further study. Described races lemniscatus (Sumatra, Bangka I and Belitung I) and tenebrosus (SE Sumatra) considered synonymous with nominate; siamensis possibly inseparable from malaccensis. Four subspecies recognized.
