The third species of the subgenus Monomacrodon, Netelia (M.) maculata new species is described from the montane areas of Laos and Vietnam. In addition, N. (M.) bicolor is newly recorded from Taiwan and Vietnam. The ovarian eggs of this subgenus are described and figured for the first time. A key to three known species of the subgenus Monomacrodon is presented.

The Laccophilus javanicus species group in Southeast Asia is reviewed. Eight new species are described: Laccophilus hendrichi, new species (Laos, Myanmar, Thailand), L. jaechi, new species (Cambodia, Thailand), L. kalimantanensis, new species (Indonesia: Kalimantan), L. komareki, new species (China: Guangdong, Guangxi), L. mazzoldii, new species (Laos, Thailand), L. nusatenggaraensis, new species (Indonesia: Flores, Sumbawa, Sumba, Timor), L. schillhammeri, new species (Myanmar), and L. stastnyi, new species (Malaysia: Sarawak). Habitus and male genitalia are illustrated for all group members, and a key to species is provided.

The reticulated python is relatively common in Singapore (Baker & Lim, 2012: 91, as Broghammerus reticulatus), and most of these snakes have ticks on them. However, the present specimen had an unusually large number of ticks, concentrated largely along the lower jaw. The cause of death is unknown, but the emaciated condition of the snake suggests that it may have starved. The ticks could have contributed to their host’s demise by placing an intense amount of weight and obstruction on the lower jaw, thus making it difficult for the snake to feed. The python may even have succumbed to possible toxic salivary secretions injected into its bloodstream by the ticks (see Court & Wang, 2011). The nematode seems to suggest that the snake had a high parasitic load in its digestive tract, but this was not investigated
