Genus Aspidites Peters, 1877
Remarks:
Henderson and Powell (2007) and Swan (2007) did not list subspecies within Aspidites . Aspidites was considered most primitive within the Pythonidae (e.g., Stimson and Underwood 1990, Kluge 1993) due to a lack of thermoreceptive pits in the labial scales. However, current research (Westhoff and Collin 2008) has revealed that Aspidites possesses a single thermoreceptive pit within the rostralia.
