Remarks. Sworder (1923) presumed the occurrence of H. jerdonii in Singapore because of its presence in Penang, Peninsular Malaysia. No other reports of H. jerdonii from Singapore have been published. Three specimens from Singapore are deposited in museum collections; two at ZMUC and one at SAMA. When further inspecting these specimens, the two at ZMUC have the location as “NE of Singapore ”. In fact, these specimens have GPS coordinates that place them off the coast of Sedili Kechil, Peninsular Malaysia. Specimen SAMA R22569 is actually A. eydouxii (Sanders et al. 2012) .
