Remarks. Gekko smithii populations from southeastern Thailand to Singapore , east of the Banjaran Titiwangsa in Peninsular Malaysia have been redescribed as G. hulk based on molecular and morphometric differences ( Grismer et al. 2022 ). The earliest published record of G. hulk in Singapore is of an individual heard at NSSF on 9 April 1988 ( Lim & Lim 1988a ). Subsequent published records also featured detection via auditory calls ( Lim 1988c ; Lim & Lim 1988c ; Lim & Subharaj 1992 ; Subaraj et al. 1995; Teo & Rajathurai 1997). The earliest published record of an individual that was seen is a photograph of one taken at Singapore Zoo in the early 1980s (F.L.K. Lim pers. comm.) and displayed in Lim & Lim (1992 ; reproduced here as Fig. 13D ). Two additional confirmed sightings of individuals seen at BTNR on 26 August 1995 were reported in Lim (1995), but it appears no photos were taken. Thus, the photograph in Figure 13D may be the only photograph of a specimen from Singapore . Only two voucher specimens exist, the earliest (CAS 7554) collected by Herre on 14 May 1937 at Mandai Road, and ZRC.2.1487 collected at BTNR in October 1975 . As no records of G. hulk exist after 1997, we designate the status of G. hulk in Singapore as indeterminate, and it is highly probable that it has been extirpated from Singapore .
