Draco formosus View in CoL — Boulenger, 1903: 153.

Remarks. The only mention of D. formosus in Singapore comes from Boulenger (1903) where he says it was abundant. However, he did not provide any pertinent information supporting the locale. As no other publication references this paper, neither Boulenger himself, we suspect he confused D. formosus with D. sumatranus . Draco formosus ranges from southern Thailand to southern Peninsular Malaysia ( Grismer 2011b).
