Remarks.
Das (2010)
and Rasmussen
et al.
(2011) listed
Singapore
as part of the distribution for
H. atriceps
, but we are unsure where they acquired the record from since there are no publications reporting it from
Singapore
.
Hydrophis atriceps
occurs in the waters of Indo-Australia, with the nearest known population to
Singapore
being
Kelantan
, Peninsular
Malaysia
(Wallach
et al.
2014).
