Simalia

Simalia Gray 1849 was a taxonomic synonym of

• Liasis (a genus of non-venomous pythons found in Indonesia, New Guinea and Australia) and
• Morelia (a genus of large snakes, in the Pythonidae family, found in Australia, Indonesia and New Guinea),

but Reynolds et al. (2014)^[1] resurrected it for the Morelia amethistina group species (which, together with Morelia viridis made genus Morelia paraphyletic) and therefore it contains the following species:

• S. amethistina Schneider, 1801 (type species)
• S. boeleni Brongersma, 1953
• S. clastolepis Harvey et al., 2000
• S. kinghorni Stull, 1933
• S. nauta Harvey et al., 2000
• S. oenpelliensis Gow, 1977
• S. tracyae Harvey et al., 2000
