Species This list is based on the latest checklist of snakes in the world and recent revisions and descriptions published in the scientific literature. The authors of a 2015 revision of the Australo-Papuan
Dendrelaphis species recommended the
synonymizing of
D. solomonis within
D. calligaster, the elevation of
D. keiensis to species status, the resurrection of
D. lineolatus from within
D. calligaster, and the resurrection of
D. macrops and elevation of
D. striolatus from within
D. punctulatus. They also confined
D. punctulatus to Australia and
D. papuensis to the
Trobriand Islands of
Papua New Guinea. •
