COMMENTS: This arrangement places all named forms north of the Isthmus of Kra in
belangeri
,
the oldest named form from the region. Some may prove to be distinct species, and some names attributed to
glis
may actually prove to be
belangeri
.
Immunological (
Dene et al., 1978
) evidence supports this arrangement.
