Comment	Synonymy: BOULEGNER (1892) suggests that Simotes meyerinkii is a “variety” of Simotes octolineatus (= Oligodon octolineatus). Distribution: The occurrence of O. meyerinkii on Borneo requires confirmation according to MALKMUS et al. (2002). Not listed by Stuebing et al. 2014 for Borneo.
Etymology	named after the collector, Mr. Meyeringk.
