For a review of <i>H. brookii’s</i> complicated taxonomic history, consult Bauer <i>et al.</i> (2010), Mahony (2011), and Lajmi <i>et al.</i> (2016). Ģnther (1864) first documented the presence of <i>H. brookii</i> in Singapore from specimens at NHMUK, but curiously, Boulenger (1885) seemed not to have examined the specimens. Later, where he defined the range of <i>H. brookii</i>, Boulenger (1912) stated that it was “recorded from Singapore ”, perhaps acknowledging Ģnther’s (1864) record. Sworder (1925a) doubted the occurrence of <i>H. brookii</i> based on the absence of voucher specimens and no records aside from Ģnther (1864). In fact, <i>H. brookii</i> was not documented again in Singapore until 152 years later on 4 February 2016 (Table 2), when four individuals were observed at Admiralty Park (Groenewoud & Law 2016b). Groenewoud & Law (2016b) presumed the individuals were introduced given the absence in records and the presence of erosion-control coconut mats in the park.

Considered indeterminate in Singapore (Baker & Lim 2012), we believe this is not the case based on the aforementioned records, and personal observations at East Coast Park, Katong, Keppel Club, Kranji Dam, Lavender, Neo Tiew Road (Fig. 13E), Pang Sua Park Connector in Choa Chu Kang, Sungei Kadut Drive, and Tengah Forest (A.
