status

[unavailable name (APP8, see introduction)]

Chondropython viridis adelynhoserae Hoser, 2009 View in CoL [unavailable name (APP8, see introduction)]

Holotype:

AM R129716.

Type locality:

Normanby Island, d’Entrecasteaux Archipelago, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea.

Remarks:

Rawlings and Donnellan (2003) revealed a genetic distance of about 3% in mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome b gene) between the Normanby Island specimen and all other specimens examined from the southern parts of New Guinea. However, this analysis was based on a single museum specimen from Normanby Island. Further research is needed to ascertain the taxonomic status of this population. However, this name is considered unavailable (APP8, also see introduction).
