Remarks:
Records from Luzon (e.g., Leviton 1970; Golay, Smith, Broadley, Dixon, McCarthy, Rage, Schätti & Toriba 1993; Iskandar & Colijn 2001) appear to be erroneous.
The island was not included in the distribution by Diesmos, Gonzalez, Delima & Tampos (2009).
Leviton, Siler, Weinell & Brown (2018) included the species in the species list for Luzon, but in the species account there was no mention of the island, and no
localities were plotted in the map.

Remarks:

Leviton, Siler, Weinell & Brown (2018) did not include Mindoro in the distribution of the species.

|
| |
Rhabdophis callichroma Malnate 1960 |
|
1939 | |
Natrix auchenia Smith (Smith 1943) |
Remarks:
Previously regarded as a synonym of chrysargos (e.g., Zhao & Adler 1993).
According to David & Ineich (1999), records from China (Hainan) refer to adleri, however, Zhu, Wang, Takeuchi & Zhao (2014) list vouchers of both adleri
and callichroma from the island.
Chinese records of callichroma or chrysargos from outside Hainan are here tentatively assigned to callichroma.
Not listed for China by Wang, Ren, Chen, Lyu, Guo, Jiang, Chen, Li, Guo, Wang & Che (2020).
Only two specimens have been reported from Hong Kong (Karsen, Lau & Bogadek 1998 [as chrysargos]).
David & Ineich (1999) regarded the specific epithet as an apposition, not an adjective, thus suggesting the correct spelling to be callichroma,
not callichromus.
Distribution:
China
(Guangdong,
Hainan,
Hong Kong),

Tropidonotus callistus Günther |
|
| |
Rhabdophis callistus Iskandar & Colijn 2001 |
Remarks:
Previously regarded as a synonym of chrysargoides (e.g., Rooij 1917).
Treated as a valid species in most recent publications (e.g., Iskandar & Colijn 2001; Lang & Vogel 2005).
According to Lang & Vogel (2005), the species is endemic to Sulawesi, but Iskandar & Colijn (2001) and Koch (2012) include Sangir Island in the distribution, but
without reference to vouchers.
Confirmation is therefore needed.
Distribution:
Indonesia
(Sulawesi).

| |
Amphiesma chrysargoides Jan 1863 |
|
| |
Natrix chrysargoides Barbour 1912 |
|
| |
Rhabdophis chrysargoides Malnate 1960 |
Remarks:
Previously included callistus. According to Iskandar & Colijn (2001), chrysargoides is restricted to Java, but some authors (e.g., Lang & Vogel 2005; Koch 2012) have also included Buton, Muna, Sangir Islands and Sulawesi, but the status of these populations is uncertain. Moreover, Zhu, Wang, Takeuchi & Zhao (2014) listed a voucher from Palawan, Philippines, however, this record is regarded herein as questionable, since no other references seem to confirm the presence of chrysargoides in the Philippines. See further remarks under chrysargos.
Distribution:

(Buton,

| |
Tropidonotus chrysargus juncea Boettger 1887 |
|
1854 | |
Leptophis albomaculatus Duméril, Bibron & Duméril (Golay & al. 1993) |
Remarks:
Records from China refer to adleri or callichroma (see remarks under those species).
Presence in Sulawesi and nearby islands has been questioned, since only a few voucher specimens are available from the island,
and since chrysargos may have been confused with chrysargoides (Lang & Vogel 2005; Koch 2012).
All records of chrysargos from Sulawesi and nearby islands are here tentatively considered to represent chrysargoides, pending further studies.
Specific epithet is chrysargos, not chrysargus, and the author is Schlegel 1837, not Boie 1827, as often seen (see above or David & Vogel 1996).

Remarks:
Previously included pentasupralabialis.
Now restricted to central China (Nguyen & David 2023).
Records from other countries represent other species (e.g., leonardi), or are assumed to be misidentifications (Nguyen & David 2023).
Particularly, a record from Himachal Pradesh (Agrawal 1979) is regarded as erroneous, being far from the nearest other records of this or any other closely related species.
Records from Nagaland, India, are tentatively referred to leonardi, following Nguyen & David (2023).
Records from the Chinese provinces Guangxi and Guizhou are also assumed to represent other species (Nguyen & David 2023).
Presence in Hong Kong needs confirmation, since there is only a single record (Karsen, Lau & Bogadek 1998).
Lau, Guo, Zhou & Rao (2012) did not include Hong Kong in the distribution.

Remarks:
Previously included helleri, siamensis, and the population now assigned to confusus.
Presence in Sulawesi needs confirmation, since only a single voucher specimen is available from the island (De Lang & Vogel 2005).
Although reported from Borneo by several authors (e.g., De Rooij 1917; Haas 1950; Haile 1959; Stuebing 1991; Iskandar & Colijn 2001; Iskandar 2004; Das 2006, 2010), it is not included
for the island herein, following Stuebing, Inger & Lardner (2014) and David & Vogel (2021), who did not regard subminiatus as a Bornean species.
Distribution:

(Java,
