Remarks:
Smith and Plane (1985) documented significantly lesser curvature in the teeth of this taxon, to that found in species of the genera Python and Morelia , and because “… of the slight curvature of the dentary teeth …” ( Smith and Plane 1985: 194) the authors considered this taxon more closely related to Morelia than to Python .
