Trimesurus maculatus Gray, 1842 View in CoL
Trimesurus maculatus Gray, 1842: 48 View in CoL . —Type locality. “ Singapore ”. - Syntypes. Not indicated. Lectotype (implicitly designated by Boulenger, 1896: 563): BMNH 1946.1.17.69, from “ Singapore ”. Coll. by General Hardwicke.
Gray recognized a “Var. 1”, unnamed but stated as inhabiting the Philippine Islands. Such specimens mentioned as variety are not regarded as syntypes according to the Code .
Comments. The description of Gray is confusing. This author indeed described this new species from specimen(s) from Singapore, but also recognized a “Variety 1” inhabiting the Philippine Islands. This variety has no specific name, and has hence no nomenclatural status. Trimesurus maculatus Gray, 1842 was synonymised with Trimeresurus wagleri by Günther (1864: 388).
Status. A subjective synonym of Tropidolaemus wagleri ( Boie, 1827) .
