B. andrewsi Schmidt and B. b. wrighti Schmidt and Liu are tentatively treated as a distinct species, B. andrewsi. B. bankorensis Barbour from Taiwan is regarded as a valid species; it resembles the geographically remote B. andrewsi, but is completely distinct from adjacent populations of B. g. popei. B. minshanicus Stejneger and B. tibetanus Zarevsky are given species status. A key is provided.
