Remarks:

Prior to ( Wells and Wellington (1984, 1985), this name comprised all the taxa now recognized at subspecific rank, excluding the nominate subspecies and Morelia spilota imbricata , but including the New Guinean populations. Now Morelia spilota variegata is taxonomically restricted to Northern Australia ( Kend 1997, Mense 2006).
