Seven subspecies have been recognized in this species ( Gupta & Jonathan 2003 ). We checked all specimens in RMNH, including the types of the nominate subspecies, and the related literature. It is easy to separate them into two groups by absence or presence of vein 2r-m of the fore wing: the vein is absent in bariensis (Tsuneki), billitonensis (Tullgren), modesta (Smith), terminata (Smith), and present in formosana (Betrem), marginella (Klug) , and thaiana (Tsuneki). The other differences concern the extent of yellow maculation of males and females. DNA sequencing is needed to research the status of these subspecies.
