Hydrophis inornatus (Gray, 1849)

REMARKS (Map 17D [p. 128]).— According to David and Ineich (1999:111), Rasmussen (1989) referred records of Philippine and Indonesian H. inornatus to H. ornatus (see Rasmussen synonymy [1989:399], also comments on p. 410). Rasmussen also states, “However, the acceptance of H. inornatus as a separate species is explicitly preliminary and further study may show that the type specimen of H. inornatu s is an aberrant specimen of H. ornatus .” (Rasmussen [1989:415]). (See also Leviton, Brown, and Siler [2014:506]).

CONSERVATION STATUS [IUCN].— Data Deficient [2016] ver. 3.1.
