There are three subspecies recognized viz. L. p. perspicillata, L. p. sindica, and L. p. maxwelli. 

This species is listed as Vulnerable in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (https://www.iucnredlist.org/).

 

There are six subspecies namely, A. c. collaris, A. c. albogularis, A. c. leucolaemus, A. c. dictator, A. c. consul, and A. c. hoevenii. A. c. collaris (from E. Himalayan: Greater Hog Badger), A. c. albogularis (Northern Hog Badger), A. c. hoevenii (Sumatran Hog Badger) are treated as separate species by some taxonomists.

There are two subspecies recognized under this species, namely: Himalayan Red Panda A. f. fulgens and Styan's Red Panda A. f. styani. However, there are disputes over treating these as subspecies or as species. Previous name A. f. refulgens was used as another subspecies name for A. f. styani wrongly, which is now a nomen nudum (in other words this name A. f. refulgens does not exist).
