Python bivittatus progschai Jacobs et al., 2009 [subspecies inquirenda, APP7]

Holotype:

ZFMK 87481, subadult male from SW-Sulawesi.

Type locality:

Known only from the southwest of Sulawesi.

Remarks:

Jacobs et al. (2009) separated this subspecies from the nominate form by its generally smaller size (up to 240 cm in TL), up to 50% smaller egg size, and the smaller size of the neonates as well as by slightly different patterning and scale counts.
