Distribution. Lower Peirce Reservoir (Ng & Lim, 1997a; Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Bedok Reservoir (Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Jurong Lake (Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Kranji Reservoir (Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Upper Seletar Reservoir (Tan, 2013b, 2014d); Lower Seletar Reservoir (Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); MacRitchie Reservoir (Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Pandan Reservoir (Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Woodlands Town Park pond (Kwik et al., 2013); Punggol Reservoir (Ng HH & Tan HH, 2013); Serangoon Reservoir (Ng HH & Tan HH, 2013); Banir (Tan, 2014g; Ho et al., 2016); Marina Reservoir (near Marina Bay Sands; Wozniak S, pers. obs., October 2016); Bishan Park (unpublished data). Remarks. Juvenile individuals were recently obtained from a stream feeding into Lower Seletar Reservoir (Tan, 2014g), while adults were observed to be breeding in Upper Seletar Reservoir (Tan, 2013b); this is indicative that this species has established in Singapore.
