In Assam there formerly existed a local race, B. bubalis macrocercus, characterized by the horns, which are of immense size, being directed mainly outwards, instead of curving upwards in a circular form.

According to Groves (1996) is this species/subspecies/variety a synonym of Bubalus arnee arnee.
