Singapore records.

Psammodynastes pulverulentus — Iskandar & Colijn, 2001: 77.—Chan-ard et al., 2015: 215.— de Lang, 2017: 304.

Remarks. Iskandar & Colijn (2001) listed Singapore as part of the distribution for P. pulverulentus , but we are unsure where they acquired the record from since there are no publications reporting it from Singapore. Chan-ard et al. (2015) likely confused P. pulverulentus with P. pictus by following Iskandar & Colijn (2001). However, Iskandar & Colijn (2001) listed both species as occurring in Singapore in their checklist. Psammodynastes pulverulentus covers a broad geographic distribution from northeastern India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh east to Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and south to Peninsular Malaysia, East Malaysia, Indonesia, and Philippines (Wallach et al. 2014).
