Bowring’s Gecko

Hemidactylus bowringi —N. Koh, 1986: 1–2.
Remarks. Hemidactylus bowringii was erroneously reported from a newspaper article on Singapore’s lizards that stated it is among the most common lizards in Singapore ( Koh 1986). Hemidactylus bowringii is a species complex that ranges from Nepal, northern India, and Bangladesh east through northern Myanmar and Vietnam to southern China, Taiwan, and the Ryukyu Islands ( McMahan & Zug 2007). No other reports of H. bowringii from Singapore exist. It is possible that there was some confusion of specimens of H. frenatus with regenerated tails that lacked spines.
LKCNHM & NHMUK Museum specimens. No specimens.
Additional Singapore museum specimens. No specimens.
