Cyrtodactylus semenanjungensis View in CoL —N. Baker, 2014f: 331 (“forest at the end of Rifle Range Road” [RRF]).— I.S. Law, I.T. Law & Serin, 2016: 117.—Figueroa & I.S. Law, 2021: 1, 4.— Janssen & Sy, 2022: 157.

Remarks. On 25 October 2007, Baker (2014f) photographed an individual of C. semenanjungensis walking over leaf litter at SRF ( Fig. 12D View FIGURE 12 ). As presently known, C. semenanjungensis ranges from Jemaluang south to Gunung Panti Forest Reserve in southeastern Peninsular Malaysia ( Grismer 2011b). Given its southern distribution in Peninsular Malaysia, it inhabiting lowland forest below 150 m adjacent to freshwater swamp forest ( Grismer & Leong 2005; Grismer 2011b), and the recent discoveries of C. pantiensis and C. quadrivirgatus in Singapore ( Lim et al. 2016; Figueroa & Law 2021), we believe C. semenanjungensis occurs naturally in Singapore. As expressed in Figueroa & Law (2020), more work is needed to understand the distribution of Cyrtodactylus spp. in Singapore.
