to members of the B. fuliginosus complex may belong in the chresonymy of B. variegatus, but the 
most cannot be resolved without consulting the referred specimens. 
Boaedon fuliginosus complex (Boie, 1827) Brown House Snake 
Lycodon fuliginosus: Boie (1827: column 551). Type(s): unknown, RMNH?. Type locality: “Erp. de Java ist 
das Vaterland bekannt” (Boie 1827:column 551). Boie (1827) listed this species under Asian species of 
Lycodon and cited the unpublished Erpetology de Java as the source for the name. It is unclear why the 
manuscript title was mn together with “ist der Vaterland bekannt.” This may imply “Java” as the type 
locality, or it may have been an error for “Der Vaterland is unbekannt.”
