Remarks. Varanus rudicollis ranges from southern Myanmar and Thailand, south to Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo, but does not occur in Singapore (Grismer 2011b). Specimen SAMA R15536 has no data connected to it aside that it was recorded by King. It is most likely that this specimen was a trade specimen in Singapore.

Additional Singapore museum specimens. Singapore (no locality): SAMA.
