discussion

Remarks. Specimen ZMUC-R 603482 has the location “ Singapore? ” inscribed on its specimen tag. One of us examined photographs of the specimen and confirmed that it is indeed L. davisonii (A. Figueroa pers. obs.). As L. davisonii ranges from Bhutan east to Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam (Wallach et al. 2014), then the locality of the specimen is incorrect. LKCNHM & NHMUK Museum specimens. No specimens.
