Guyanan Boas(crassus) aren't only from Guyana, but they have to be named something. They are also found in Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina where the ssp. alvarezi is also found.
I totally agree with you in regards to many ssp. being problematic, and hard to nail down one way, or the other, just as in MANY other subspecies of snake. But although the common name suggests it comes from only one area, it is also found in the other neighboring areas I mentioned as well.. Intergrade specimens would surely make positive identification tougher to impossible further yet.
