Now Tropidolaemus subannulatus. "In a revision by Vogel et al. (2007) the Tropidolaemus wagleri species complex was differentiated into several taxa, including the resurrection of T. subannulatus. [...] Tropidolaemus subannulatus has a wide distribution in Central Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines, T. wagleri is restricted to MAINLAND [my emphasis] Southeast Asia, down to Sumatra and Bangka, West Indonesia.." http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/19224...

Hi arthroprod,

Because of some rules that I wasn´t aware of before, you´re (unfortunately) not allowed to join my mission with this pic as you´re spotting isn´t within the range of my mission. I´m sorry for the confusion and hope that you would like to join my mission if it becomes global at some point in the future.

Best til then,
Lin
