Hi Wolfgang,

well, I have no institutional access to the ZRs, but I have read lots of older papers dealing with python taxonomy.
The python species today known as Bothrochilus boa (ringed python) was known as Nardoa schlegeli Gray 1842 and Liasis fuscus Peters 1873 was known as Nardoa crassa (Macleay, 1886). Later in 1879 Hubrecht introduced the genus Leiopython as an intermediate between Liasis Gray 1842 and Nardoa Gray 1842. McDowell (1975) also listed Nardoa boa (not Tortirx boa Schlegel) Dunn, 1939 as synonym for L. fuscus albertisii. I was just wondering if this might still be a case. Is Nardoa Gray 1842 still an available synonym for Liasis or Bothrochilus. Anyway, Nardoa was actually first used for snake species and not for starfish...

Cheers,
Wulf
