Has been considered conspecific with T. tenuepunctatus, but the two have adjoining ranges with no apparent barriers and no evidence of intergradation. Both belong to the “T. doliatus group”, which also includes T. zarumae, T. multistriatus, T. torquatus and T. ruficapillus. The validity and distributional limits of the races of present species are in need of re-examination. Four subspecies recognized.
