 Comments
       
  Comment: '[B]ecause disjunct distribution was the only information provided by Hoser (2000) to justify differentiation from Australian conspecifics [and publish as new taxon Morelia harrisoni], the scientific community has been reluctant to adopt the name.' (Natusch and Lyons, 2011)
