Annotated checklist of the recent and extinct pythons (Serpentes, Pythonidae), with notes on nomenclature, taxonomy, and distribution Author Schleip, Wulf D. Author O'Shea, Mark text ZooKeys 2010 66 29 80 http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.66.683 journal article http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.66.683 1313-2970-66-29 Chondropython viridis adelynhoserae Hoser, 2009 [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).
