discussion
REMARKS. — Siler et al. (2013) used a multilocus phylogenetic study to demonstrate a substantial genetic divergence between L. subcinctus from Malaysia, Thailand, and Palawan. This plus the highly distinctive (reduced) banding pattern endemic to Palawan, suggests that this western Philippine lineage ought to be recognized as a distinct species.
