Discussion:
Reviewed by
Hill (1983)
,
Corbet and Hill (1992)
, Bates and Harrison (1997), and
Kitchener and Suyanto (2002)
. Philippine records may actually represent
australis
; see
Heaney et al. (1998)
. Does not seem to include
macrocneme
; see
Sanborn and Nicholson (1950)
, Flannery (1995
a
,
b
), and
Bonaccorso (1998)
, although also see
Kitchener and Suyanto (2002)
, who treated
macrocneme
as a subspecies of
pusillus
but did not examine specimens of
macrocneme
sensu stricto
. Some specimens from SE Asia previously identified as
schreibersii
may represent
pusillus
; see
Hendrichsen et al. (2001
b
)
.
Kitchener and Suyanto (2002)
recognized but did not name a subspecies from Alor, Roti, Timor,
Ambon
, probably Seram, and possibly
Sulawesi
.
