• leucolophus (Hardwicke, 1815)   -  Southern Himachal Pradesh and Nepal east to north-eastern India (Arunachal Pradesh except south-east) and adjacent southern China (south-eastern Xizang).
• patkaicus Reichenow, 1913   -  South-eastern Arunachal Pradesh and north-eastern Indian hill states (south of southern Brahmaputra), eastern Bangladesh, Myanmar (except south-central, eastern and south-east) and southern China (western and south-western Yunnan).
