 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)  
    Comments: Revised by Ruedi et al. (1994) who considered suillus, maxi, dorsalis, siamensis and probably peguensis, microtinus, and tionis as valid subspecies. Further genetic studies by Ruedi and Fumagalli (1996) suggest that siamensis, maxi and dorsalis may even be distinct species
