Hypsilurus spinosus (Duméril & Duméril, 1851)

Holotype: MNHN-RA-0.6896, ♂, collected by J.B. Hombron and H. Jacquinot in 1839.
Type locality: “Samboangan (île Mindanao, arch. des Philippines)” apparently in error considering the distribution of Hypsilurus; probably “Triton Bay, New Guinea” fide Denzer et al. (2020: 50).
