scientific name

Australiasis Wells & Wellington, 1984
status

[synonym of Morelia]

Genus Australiasis Wells & Wellington, 1984 [synonym of Morelia]

Synonyms:

Austroliasis Hoser, 2000 (incorrect subsequent spelling, APP4)

Remarks:

Hoser (2004) used the correct spelling rather than his earlier incorrect spelling of this taxon as " Austroliasis " (see below) but also included the species of the amethistina-complex (sensu Harvey et al. 2000) and furthermore added timorensis (APP4) Peters, 1877. Nevertheless, Hoser only listed this genus without comment or evidence for its resurrection.
