Conservation: CITES – Appendix I as P. b. bengalensis (populations of India, Bangladesh, and Thailand); otherwise Appendix II; U.S. ESA – Endangered as P. b. bengalensis ; IUCN – Least Concern.
Discussion: Includes euptilurus following G. M. Allen (1939) and Gao (1987). Heptner (1971) and Gromov and Baranova (1981) considered euptilurus a distinct species; however, Gao (1987) pointed out that Heptner compared Russian specimens with those from SE Asia, whereas when intervening Chinese populations are included, his distinctions do not hold. Includes minuta following Chasen (1940). Excludes iriomotensis (see comments below). Synonyms allocated according to Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and Groves (1997 b).
