Synonyms:

Remarks:

( Hoser (2000, 2004) listed several subspecies of Morelia spilota at specific rank, without comment. Since no new evidence is available, these authors continue to treat them all as subspecies. These authors also treat the taxon Morelia harrisoni described by Hoser (2000) as a subspecies of Morelia spilota (see comments there).
