Remarks:
Listed for China in some works (e.g., Nguyen, Ho & Nguyen 2009; Bain & Hurley 2011), however, no works listing exact localities in the country have been found.

See Hoogmoed & Avila-Pires (2015) regarding New World introductions.
Although mentioned to occur as an introduced species in Mexico in many publications (e.g., Brown & Parker 1977; Bauer 1994), lugubris was not confirmed for
the country until Ahumada-Carrillo & Weatherman (2018) reported on a reproducing population in Jalisco.

Remarks:
Sometimes regarded as a synonym of lugubris (e.g., Brown & Parker 1977; Kluge 2001), however, woodfordi is a bisexual species, whereas lugubris is unisexual (McCoy 2006). Philippine records refer to lugubris (Brown & Alcala 1978). A Bornean record (Beutelschiess & Beutelschiess 1994) probably refer to ranauensis (Das 2007c).
