Singapore records.

Egernia depressa — Hanitsch, 1900: 27 (Tanjong Pagar).— Hellier, 1902: 4.— Chasen, 1925: 100 (Tanjong Pagar).—M.E.Y. Low & Pocklington, 2019: 220.

Remarks. Two specimens of E. depressa , which is native to Australia ( Cogger 2014), were found among cargo of sandalwood at Tanjong Pagar ( Hanitsch 1900). Chasen (1925) informed that the Raffles Museum has specimens, but it is unclear if they are the same specimens reported by Hanitsch (1900). In addition, CAS also has three specimens, which were collected in 1937.
