discussion

Remarks. In a note documenting the first record of reproduction of E. enhydris in Singapore, Figueroa et al. (2022) discussed the status of this species in Singapore. Considered non-native (Lim & D’Rozario 2009; Baker & Lim 2012; Charlton 2020), Figueroa et al. (2022) asserted that E. enhydris is most likely native to Singapore. Lim & D’Rozario (2009) reported a dead individual found on Neo Tiew Road on 13 April 2008, and a live specimen seen at SBWR on 13 September 2008. The only record before this is an early specimen (BMNH 1870.1.14.4) collected prior to 1896 (Boulenger 1896). Given the long absence between these records, and that northwestern Singapore is dedicated to agrotechnological farming, Lim & D’Rozario (2009) suggest that E. enhydris was introduced into Singapore with imported aquatic plants. However, E. enhydris inhabits stagnant and slow-moving aquatic habitats such as rice paddies, canals, ditches, lakes, and rivers, including degraded areas and urban areas (Murphy 2007), making the wetlands, freshwater marshes, ponds, and farms found around northwestern Singapore ideal habitat. Thus, given this information and that E. enhydris ranges widely from Sri Lanka north alon
