Treatment

Oligodon bitorquatus H. Boie in F. Boie, 1827— Erroneous.

Boie’s Kukri Snake

Singapore records.

Oligodon subquadratus —F. M̧ller, 1878: 592, 756.

Remarks. M̧ller (1878) listed a specimen of O. bitorquatus at BNHM with the locality Singapore. However, O. bitorquatus is only known from Java, Sumbawa, and Timor, with records from Sumatra and Borneo being doubtful (Wallach et al. 2014). Therefore, the Singapore record is also questionable.

LKCNHM & NHMUK Museum specimens. No specimens.

Additional Singapore museum specimens. No specimens.

Genus Oreocryptophis Utiger, Schätti & Helfenberger, 2005 (1 species)
