Treatment

Calamaria linnaei H. Boie in F. Boie, 1827— Erroneous.

Linnaeus’s Reed Snake

Singapore records.

Calamaria linnaei — Inger & Marx, 1965: 207.

Remarks. Inger & Marx (1965) reported eight unnumbered specimens from Singapore deposited at ZMH and collected by Schwinghammer in 1909. However, they doubted the specimens originated from Singapore as no additional specimens were ever reported and because C. linnaei was commonly sold. Presently, C. linnaei is only known from Java and Bangka (Wallach et al. 2014). de Lang (2017) mentioned that C. linnaei has also been erroneously reported from Borneo, Sulawesi, and Sumatra.

LKCNHM & NHMUK Museum specimens. No specimens.

Additional Singapore museum specimens. No specimens.

Subfamily Colubrinae Oppel, 1811 (8 species)
