No published records.

Remarks. Eutropis carinata inhabits India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Maldives and Sri Lanka (Somaweera & Somaweera 2009a). A specimen in ZMB’s accession catalogue was collected by Jagor, supposedly in Singapore. The specimen is presently lost so we were unable to examine it. The possibility exists that the specimen was confused with E. multifasciata , unless the locality is incorrect or the specimen was imported into Singapore.

LKCNHM & NHMUK Museum specimens. No specimens.
