Singapore records.

No published records.

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.

LKCNHM & NHMUK Museum specimens. No specimens.

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