COMMENTS: This arrangement places all named forms north of the Isthmus of Kra in belangeri, the oldest named form from the region. Some may prove to be distinct species, and some names attributed to glis may actually prove to be belangeri . Immunological (Dene et al., 1978) evidence supports this arrangement.
