Synonyms:
Katrinus mackloti ( Duméril & Bibron, 1844) - Hoser 2000
Liasis mackloti Duméril & Bibron - Rawlings et al. 2004; Henderson and Powell 2007
Remarks:
Hoser (2000) placed this species in his genus Katrinus (see comments there). The recognition of the subspecies Liasis mackloti dunni and Liasis mackloti savuensis is supported by Rawlings et al. (2004). Carmichael et al. (2007) provide additional evidence (different courtship behaviors and pheromone trailing) for this placement. See the latter citation for additional information on biogeography.
