…. Twenty external morphological characters were recorded from 90 preserved specimens from throughout most of the distribution of the genus. Thirteen characters were used with principal coordinate analysis to test the diversity of populations from different distributions. Additional evidence
for some species was obtained by maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences (cytochrome b gene) taken from GenBank.
Besides three conventional taxa, two new species from the mainland, and one new island species were recognized in accordance with the evolutionary species
concept. Additionally, a new locality record is provided.
Schleip (p. 646-647): Check the Material and Methods section, Table 1, Fig. 2 and text.Zitat
In terms of his morphological analysis, Schleip deliberately excluded a host of characters, such as temporals, parietals and postoculars on the alleged
basis that there was an allegedly “random distribution between different populations”.
However these scales are routinely used to split other python taxa including some from Australasia (see for example, Hoser 2000b, noting that the relevant diagnoses are in turn adopted from earlier authors and therefore not merely Hoser inventions). However it is clear that the exclusion of characters that give no statistical standing in favour of one population versus another have been excluded by Schleip solely so as to…
Schleip (p.649, section Morphological Analysis):Zitat
- “Number of prefrontals”
- “Number of postoculars“
- “ Number of parietal scale pairs”
- “Parietal scales that border the frontal in contact at the median line”
Would you differentiate snake on the base of the presence of their tail or tongue as they all have them?Zitat
Some characters (number of anterior and posterior temporals, parietal scales in contact with the postoculars) were excluded from the analysis because of little variation within the genus or because of random distribution throughout different populations.

Refer also to your facebook posts claiming DNA evidence for your alleged
new species .... (Now let’s see you rush out and delete them all ...)

LEIOPYTHON ALBERTlSII BARKERI SUBSP, NOV,
This is the subspecies of L. albertisii that is endemic to Mussau island in the Saint Matthias Group, Bismark Archipelago. It is separated from L. albertisii albertisii by the mutually exclusive distribution and by analysis of mitochondrial DNA.
Ventral counts for this species are near the lower limit for the range of New Guinea L. albertisii. The trait may be used as potenital indicator for the subspecies in the absense of other data. Other scalation counts are properties also overlap with those of the type species.

Now, I suggest you go to the rules and look up exactly what a nomen nudem actually is. You may be in for a rude shock!

Now talking stability of taxonomy, it is fair to ask, what credentials do you have in this regard when you publish in your own self-edited journal “herp review”, bypassing proper peer review, to call for several hundred species to have junior synonyms created for them on the sole basis you don’t like the blokes who named them?

Let me guess do want to call retics Wustersaurus Schleip, 2013?
