Australiasis amethystinus duceboracensis ( Guenther, 1879) [synonym of Morelia amethistina]

Remarks:

Hoser (2004) listed this taxon for the population referred to as Morelia amethistina from New Ireland, Bismarck Archipelago, Papua New Guinea (see remarks on Morelia amethistina and Morelia clarki ) without justification. Until further research has been carried out into the status of pythons in the Bismarck Archipelago, this species is herein assigned to the synonymy of Morelia amethistina .
