Contents:
2 species, of which 1 (50.0%) is endemic.
Endemism: 0%  100%
Remarks:
The two species of this genus were previously included in
Python.
Hoser (2004) proposed the new genus Broghammerus to include only reticulatus.
The phylogenetic analysis of Rawlings, Rabosky, Donnellan & Hutchinson (2008) supported the recognition of the Broghammerus which they redefined to include timoriensis.
However, Kaiser, Crother, Kelly, Luiselli, O'Shea, Ota, Passos, Schleip & Wüster (2013) retained it as a synonym of
Python.
Subsequently, Reynolds, Niemiller & Revell (2014) considered the genus valid, but regarded Broghammerus as a nomen nudum and proposed
Malayopython as a new name for the genus.

Remarks:
Records from New Guinea are considered erroneous (McDowell 1975).
Leviton, Siler, Weinell & Brown (2018) did not include Sabtang (Batan Islands) in the distribution of the species.
There is a questionable record from Uttar Pradesh (Kanaujia, Kumar & Kumar 2017), which is disregarded herein, since all other records of this species are
far to the east of the state.
Introduced to:
Puerto Rico,
South Africa
(Gauteng),
USA
(Florida).

Remarks:
Although used widely in the literature, it is recommended to avoid using the name "Timor Python" for this species, since it does not occur in Timor.
The only specimen said to have come from this island is the type specimen, which was most probably mislabeled (Lang 2011; O'Shea & Kaiser 2018).
Distribution:
Indonesia
(Adonara,
Flores,
Lembata,
Lombok,
Pantar,
Sumbawa).
