Several of these nominal taxa have been treated as separate species, for example as B. alhopleuralis (= B. mimeticus) [Himalaya], B. montivagus [northern Burma to southern China], B. maxwelli [Peninsular Malaysia] and B. wilemani [Tai- wan] (Tkalcu, 19686, 1989). However, aside from differences in colour pattern (Fig. 13), they are closely similar in morphology and show a range of variation (Williams, 1991). Until more evidence to the contrary is available from critical studies of patterns of varia- tion, I shall continue to treat them as parts of a single variable species.
