Lygosoma albopunctatum (Gray, 1846) — Erroneous.
White-spotted Supple Skink
Singapore records.

Lygosoma albopunctatum — Flower, 1896: 875.—Ridley, 1899: 207.
Remarks. The only record of L. albopunctatum in Singapore comes from Cantor (1847a) who also listed Penang and Malay Peninsula as localities. However, he did not provide any specifics regarding its occurrence in these places. Lygosoma albopunctatum ranges from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar, northeastern Thailand, Vietnam, and is known from two specimens taken in Penang in 1956 ( Grismer 2011b). Since there is doubt concerning some of Cantor’s records, and no specimens exist for Singapore and the rest of Peninsular Malaysia, we exclude L. albopunctatum from Singapore’s herpetofauna checklist.
