Singapore records.

Bungarus flaviceps flaviceps — Chanhome et al., 2011: 315.— Cox et al., 2018: 52.

Remarks. Chanhome et al. (2011) listed Singapore as part of the distribution for B. flaviceps , but we are unsure where they acquired the record from since there are no publications reporting it from Singapore. Cox et al. (2018) likely reference Chanhome et al. (2011). Bungarus flaviceps ranges from southern Myanmar east to southern Vietnam, and south to Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, and Banka, Belitung, Java, Nias, and Sumatra in Indonesia (Wallach et al. 2014).
