Genus Broghammerus Hoser, 2004 fideRawlings et al. (2008)

Type species:

Python reticulatus Schneider, 1801

Remarks:

Subsequent workers did not recognize Broghammerus until a new analysis combining morphological and molecular evidence ( Rawlings et al. 2008) led to a split of the genus Python . The latter authors expanded Hoser’s original concept of the genus to include the taxon timoriensis Peters, since they demonstrated that this species is more closely related to Broghammerus reticulatus than species retained within the genus Python (or to Austroliasis [i.e., Morelia ], the genus to which Hoser assigned timoriensis).
