Singapore records.

Hydrophis melanosoma —Sworder, 1923: 68.—K.K.P. Lim & L.M. Chou, 1990: 55.—K.K.P. Lim & F.L.K. Lim, 1992: 148.—L.M. Chou et al., 1994: 105.— Iskandar & Colijn, 2001: 135.—K.K.P. Lim & F.L.K. Lim, 2002: 148.— Das, 2010: 320.—Chan-ard et al., 2015: 273.

Mediohydrophis melanosoma —Wallach et al., 2014: 431.

Remarks. Sworder (1923) suspected the presence of H. melanosoma in Singapore given its presence in the Straits of Malacca, but no records exist of this species from Singapore. Subsequent publications likely refer to Sworder (1923).
