Taxonomic notes

Morphologically and genetically, specimens referred to R. pusillus from Lao PDR appear to represent multiple species (Francis et al., 2010). Further taxonomic work is required to determine the number of species and appropriate names for each, including whether any of them represent R. convexus or other recognized species.
