The following 7 subspecies are recognised:
pusilla Hodgson, 1845 - Northern India (south-eastern Uttaranchal Pradesh) and Nepal east to all north-eastern Indian hill states, north, west, eastern and south-eastern Myanmar (including northern Tenasserim), southern and south-eastern China (southern Shaanxi south to south-eastern Xizang and Yunnan, east to southern Anhui and Zhejiang), north-western Thailand, northern and central Laos and northern Vietnam (western Tonkin, northern Annam).
