Authors/Creators

Description

Hydrophis brookii Ģnther, 1872 — Erroneous.

Brook’s Sea Snake

Singapore records.

Hydrophis consobrinus —Sworder, 1923: 70.

Hydrophis brookii —K.K.P. Lim & L.M. Chou, 1990: 55.—K.K.P. Lim & F.L.K. Lim, 1992: 149.—L.M. Chou et al., 1994: 105.— Iskandar & Colijn, 2001: 132.—K.P. Lim & F.L.K. Lim, 2002: 148.— Das, 2010: 319.—Wallach et al., 2014: 340.—Chan-ard et al., 2015: 274.— Leviton et al., 2018: 460.

Remarks. Sworder (1923) suspected the presence of H. brookii in Singapore because it occurs in waters off Peninsular Malaysia, but no records exist of this species from Singapore. Subsequent publications likely reference Sworder (1923).

LKCNHM & NHMUK Museum specimens. No specimens.

Additional Singapore museum specimens. No specimens.
