Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: 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.
