Singapore records.

No published records.

Remarks. The ZMB has a specimen of L. guttata believed to be from Singapore that was collected by Jagor, most likely prior to 1859 when he collected around the region (Peters 1859). Since L. guttata only occurs in Vietnam (Manthey 2010), the specimen certainly did not originate from Singapore. This implies either the locality given for the specimen is incorrect or it was imported into Singapore.
