Remarks. Boulenger (1890a) examined a specimen of O. convictus said to come from Singapore, but we doubt the validity of this record, especially since O. convictus is a montane species throughout its range (Tweedie 1953). Subsequent publications all refer to Boulenger (1890a), except for Pope (1935) who examined the specimen.
