Bungarus javanicus Kopstein (syn. Slowinski 1994; Kuch & Mebs 2007)
Other common names: javanicus: Javanese Krait Remarks:
Present in the past, but not confirmed recently from Singapore (Baker & Lim 2008).
Records from China refer to wanghaotingi (David, Teynié & Vogel 2023).
Dash & Kar's (1990) record of candidus from Odisha (India) might be a mistake for caeruleus (Dutta & Acharjyo 1997).
Presence in Sulawesi needs confirmation, since only a single voucher specimen is available from the island (De Lang & Vogel 2005).
Exact range limits between candidus and wanghaotingi need clarification (Thai National Parks, www.thainationalparks.com, viewed November 5th, 2024).

Presence in Cambodia (e.g., Golay & al. 1993; Nguyen, Ho & Nguyen 2009) and Vietnam (e.g., Campden-Main 1970; Nguyen, Ho & Nguyen 2009; Orlov, Ryabov, Ngyuen & Nguyen 2003; Smith 1943) is also doubtful and probably based on misidentified or misallocated specimens (Wüster in David & Ineich 1999, p. 386).
