McDiarmid et al. (1999) published the first part of their planned taxonomic catalog of the snakes of the world. Since then, several new python taxa have been described in both the scientific literature and non-peer-reviewed publications. This checklist evaluates the nomenclatural status of the names and discusses the taxonomic status of the new taxa, and aims to continue the work of McDiarmid et al. (1999) for the family Pythonidae, covering the period 1999 to 2010. Numerous new taxa are listed, and where appropriate recent synonymies are included and annotations are made. A checklist and a taxonomic identification key of valid taxa are provided.
麦克迪尔米德等人(1999年)发表了他们计划中的世界蛇类分类目录的第一部分。从那时起,科学文献和非同行评审出版物中都描述了几个新的蟒类分类单元。本名录评估了这些名称的命名状况,讨论了新分类单元的分类地位,旨在延续麦克迪尔米德等人(1999年)对蟒科的工作,涵盖1999年至2010年期间。列出了许多新的分类单元,并在适当的地方纳入了最近的同物异名并进行了注释。提供了有效分类单元的名录和分类鉴定检索表。
