Morelia spilota variegata Gray, 1842

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).
