INDONESIA: KALIMANTAN TENGAH PROPINSI: BuKit raya: Katingan Hulu (ca. 1.01°S, 112.38°E; WGS 84). 6 October 2021. Dayak. Verified by K.K.P. Lim. Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum (ZRC[IMG] 2.574a–574b; photo voucher). Adult (ca. 450 mm total length) in hill dipterocarp forest. Species endemic to Borneo and known from Sarawak State, Malaysia (Stuebing et al. 2014. A Field Guide to the Snakes of Borneo. Second edition. Natural History Publi-cations (Borneo) Sdn Bhd., Kota Kinabalu. viii + 310 pp.). Known localities include Gunung Matang, Gunung Penrissen, Bau and Bungo Range in Sarawak State (Das 2010. A Field Guide to the Reptiles of South-east Asia. New Holland Publishers (UK), Ltd., London. 376 pp.; Das et al. 2017. In Mohd-Azlan et al. [eds.], Gu-nung Penrissen. The Roof of Western Borneo, pp. 109–119. Natu-ral History Publications (Borneo) Sdn Bhd, Kota Kinabalu/UNI-MAS Publisher, Kota Samarahan). The type locality is Singapore (Dennys 1880. Singapore Daily Times 1880:3) but has been con-sidered in error (Figueroa and Low 2021. Zootaxa 4951:182–186). The species subsequently has never been recorded from the Ma-lay Peninsula, and the island state may have been the point of transhipment rather than collection locality. Old records for Kali-mantan, Indonesia (e.g., Wallach et al. 2014. Snakes of the World. A Catalogue of Living and Extinct Species. CRC Press, Boca Raton, Florida. 1227 pp.; Bernstein et al. 2020. Zootaxa 4851:535–558), lack locality or voucher information. The Katingan Hulu record is the first verified one for the country, representing extension of range by ca. 335 km SE of Gunung Penrissen, southwest Sarawak. We thank Kelvin K.P.
