Hydrophis View in CoL [ Lapemis ] curtus, Leviton, Brown, and Siler, 2014:504 , figs. 27D, 28–29, 37–38.
TYPE LOCALITY AND TYPE SPECIMEN (S).— India. Holotype: BMNH 1946.1 .17.59 (formerly BMNH III.2.2.a; fide Smith [1926:110]).
PHILIPPINE DISTRIBUTION ( Map 17B [p. 128]).— Luzon (Prov.: Cavite [Manila Bay], Manila
[Manila Bay], Pangasian [Lingayen Gulf], Rizal, Zambales), Mindanao (Prov.: Zamboanga del Sur [Zamboanga City]), Negros (Prov.: Negros Occidental), (also reported from the Visayan Sea [fide Alcala {1986:170}], and listed from Negros and Panay [fide Wallach et al. {2014:355}]).
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION (OTHER THAN PHILIPPINES).— Widely distributed, from the Persian Gulf to Austrakalia, along the southeast coast of India to Straits of Malacca, Indonesia, Australia, and north to China, Taiwan, and Japan. (See Wallach et al. [2014:354] for details.)
REMARKS.— Gritis and Voris (1990) do not recognize Lapemis hardwickii [now Hydrophis hardwicki ] as a distinct species, placing it in the synonymy of L. curtus . McCarthy (1993) recognized it as a subspecies of L. curtus , allowing that the nominate form inhabits coastal waters from the Persian Gulf to the shores of western India, and L. curtus hardwickii ranges from the coastal waters of Sri Lanka and eastern India to New Guinea and Australia and north to the coast of China, the Philippines, and Japan (see also David and Ineich [1999:121–122]). Smith (1926:113, 1943:471) argued that L. curtus ranges from the Persian Gulf to the west coast of India as far as Sri Lanka but that it is unknown along the east coast of India. We follow Gritis and Voris inasmuch as theirs is the most comprehensive analysis of character variation done so far, and based on their study there are no mophological features that justify recognizing two species although we emphasize that recent phylogenetic studies ( Sanders et al. [2013]) place the genus Lapemis and its includ- ed species in the genus Hydrophis .
CONSERVATION STATUS [IUCN].— Least Concern [2016] ver. 3.1.
