| S. Sulawesi, Indonesia; 11/97 ssp insulicola | Bali, Indonesia June 1997 ssp transiens |
Widespread and variable through most of Indonesia. Ssp. insulicola and the very similar adamantius from Sulawesi may be distinct enough to warrant reclassification as a full species. Many island races have been described as subspecies, some of dubious validity:
peranthus - Kangean and Java
baweanus - Bawean
transiens - Bali, alor, and Pantar
fulgens - Lombok, Flores, Solor, Adonara
Islands
intermedius - Tanamjampea, Kalao, Bonerate
fannius - Sumbawa
adamantius - Northern Sulawesi
sumie - Jatisiri island
wangiwangiensis - Wangiwangi island
insulicola - Southern Sulawesi
