Meteterakis singaporensis was described from Duttaphrynus (as Bufo ) melanostictus from Singapore by Inglis (1958), and was also found in C. mcguirei from Peninsular Malaysia by Bursey et al. (2014). Congeners of Meteterakis are mainly restricted to Southeast Asia and the Philippines (Baker 1987) and also occur in Papua New Guinea (Goldberg et al. 2010). Meteterakis singaporensis had the largest number of individuals (457) and greatest prevalence (24%). Meteterakis singaporensis in C. affinis , C. baueri , C. biocellata , C. grismeri , C. kumpoli , C. nuicamensis and C. pemanggilensis are new host records. : Published as part of Goldberg, Stephen R., Bursey, Charles R. & Grismer, L.
