Highlights
Additional field records provide further resolution of the distribution of the Water Monitor Varanus salvator (Squamata: Varanidae) in northwestern Myanmar
Cota et al (2009) suggested these earlier records could be in error, perhaps representing specimens obtained in markets or transported as food, ISSN 0974-7907 (Online) and further noted that extensive ISSN 0974-7893 (Print) collecting by research teams from the California Academy of OPEN ACCESS Sciences failed to record V. salvator anywhere in central and northern Myanmar
Sai Sein Lin Oo & Bates (2016) concluded these records either (1) represent an isolated and perhaps relict occurrence or (2) the distribution of V. salvator extends up the Ayeyarwady River and its tributaries
