Distribution	Indonesia (Batu, Bangka, Mentawai, Nias, Simalur = Simeulue, Sumatra), W Malaysia, S Thailand Type locality: Sumatra and the island of Banka. [= Bangka]
Reproduction	oviparous
Types	Syntypes: RMNH, 8 from Sumatra and 1 from Bangka. Brongersma (1933:7) indicated that all Sumatra specimens were from Deli (RMNH 819 (1); RMNH 5587 (6); RMNH 4985 (1)); apparently he did not examine the syntype from the island of Bangka. Golay et al. (1993: 100) listed RMNH 819, 4985, and 17191 as types; perhaps the island of Bangka specimen is RMNH 17191. Lectotype RMNH 819, apparently designated by Brongersma (1933:7).
Diagnosis
Comment	Venomous! Has been confused with T. sumatranus.
