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
