Two subspecies recognized by Ellerman & Morrison-Scott (1966): sumatrensis from Sumatra and Borneo, and lasiotis (Buckland, 1872) if SE Asian mainland. Gray (1873) named niger from Malaya, but = lasiotis. Groves (1965) named harrissoni from Borneo. Although Groves separated niger and lasiotis on the mainland, but this distinction is doubtful. In that case all those on the mainland are lasiotis and niger becomes a synonym.
