Striated Swallow © David Bakewell

Forms a superspecies with Red-rumped Swallow (Cecropis daurica) and Rufous-bellied Swallow (Hirundo badia), the three replacing each other geographically. Sometimes treated as conspecific with Red-rumped Swallow (Cecropis daurica), subspecies japonica of which is intermediate between nominate subspecies of that species and present species. Often considered conspecific also with Rufous-bellied Swallow (Hirundo badia), but recent review suggests that they are separate species.

• mayri (Hall, BP, 1953)   -  North-eastern Bangladesh, north-eastern India, northern Myanmar and southern China (south-western Yunnan). Winters north, eastern and southern Myanmar, north-western Thailand and Vietnam (eastern Tonkin, central Annam).
• stanfordi (Mayr, 1941)   -  Northern, eastern and southern Myanmar, north-western and north-eastern Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, central and southern Annam and Cochinchina.
• vernayi (Kinnear, 1924)   -  Southern Myanmar (northern Tenasserim) and western Thailand.
