Singapore records.

Boiga nigriceps — Das, 1998: 65.— Charlton, 2020: 146.

Remarks. Das (1998) and Charlton (2020) listed Singapore as part of the distribution for B. nigriceps , but we are unsure where they acquired the record from since there are no publications reporting it from Singapore. Boiga nigriceps ranges from southern China southwest to Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo (Wallach et al. 2014).
