Aipysurus eydouxii, Smith, 1926:14 View in CoL , fig. 7.— David and Ineich, 1999:58.— Leviton, Brown, and Siler, 2014:500.— Wallach, Williams, and Boundy, 2014:21.
TYPE LOCALITY AND TYPE SPECIMEN (S).— Indian Ocean . Holotype: BMNH 1946.1.6.86 (formerly BMNH III.10.1 ; fide Smith [1926:16]).
PHILIPPINE DISTRIBUTION.— no verifiable records or voucher specimens.
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION (OTHER THAN PHILIPPINES).— Widely distributed in coastal waters off of Australia (Queensland, Northern Territory, Western Australia), New Guinea, Indonesia, Gulf of Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, South China Sea.
REMARKS.— Although reported for the Philippines, no verifiable records or voucher specimens. Taylor (1922a:227) states, “I have seen no specimens. Both Boulenger [1896:304] and Wall [1910:189] give the Philippines as part of its range, and the species is included in the present work on their authority.”; Smith (1926:16) also questions the authenticity of Boulenger’s report.
CONSERVATION STATUS [IUCN].— Least Concern [2016] ver. 3.1.
