Occidozyga sumatrana (Peters, 1877)

Its known distribution is restricted to Sumatra and Java, as well as Sipora and Simeulue islands.^[1] The true distribution of this species is therefore poorly known but likely to be wider (perhaps from India through Malaysia to southern China).^[2] Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, intermittent freshwater marshes, and canals and ditches. It is threatened by habitat loss.^[1] However it has most recently been reported in Singapore on August 23, 2018.^[3]
