In this study, a total of 106 individuals of from mainland China were morphologically examined and recorded. Differences between populations were compared by combining data from this study and other published research. The skulls of three specimens representing three proposed subspecies (i.e., , , and ) were examined by computed tomography (CT) scanning. Both external morphological characters and skull comparisons consistently showed significant differences between the studied populations. Based on these data, we suggest that at least four subspecies of should be recognized in mainland China: i.e., , , , and . However, the taxonomical arrangement of the central Chinese populations with intermediate morphology remain unresolved.
本研究共对来自中国大陆的 106 个个体进行了形态学检查和记录。通过将本研究的数据与其他已发表的研究相结合，比较了不同种群之间的差异。对代表三个提议亚种（即 、 和 ）的三个标本的颅骨进行了计算机断层扫描（CT）扫描。外部形态特征和颅骨比较均显示研究人群之间存在显著差异。基于这些数据，我们建议在中国大陆至少应承认 有四个亚种：即 、 、 、和 。然而，具有中间形态的中国中部种群的分类排列仍未解决。
