Lygosoma moellendorffi Boettger (Brown & Alcala 1980) |
|
1915 | |
Sphenomorphus curtirostris Taylor (Brown & Alcala 1980; Linkem & Brown 2013) |
Remarks:
Status of moellendorffi (the Tablas population) and curtirostris (the Mindanao population) is uncertain. The former is probably a separate species, the latter is either a synonym of kitangladensis or a separate species, but both are retained as synonyms of decipiens, pending further studies (Linkem & Brown 2013). These authors did not comment on the presence of decipiens in Catanduanes and in Sibuyan.
