Simalia is a genus of snakes in the family Pythonidae.

Taxonomy

Simalia {{small|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 family Pythonidae, found in Australia, Indonesia and New Guinea),

but Reynolds et al. (2014)^[1] resurrected the genus for the Morelia amethistina species group (which, together with Morelia viridis had made genus Morelia paraphyletic).

Species

The genus Simalia contains the following species:

S. amethistina {{small|(Schneider, 1801)}} (type species)
S. boeleni {{small|(Brongersma, 1953)}}
S. clastolepis {{small|(Harvey et al., 2000)}}
S. kinghorni {{small|(Stull, 1933)}}
S. nauta {{small|(Harvey et al., 2000)}}
S. oenpelliensis {{small|(Gow, 1977)}}
S. tracyae {{small|(Harvey et al., 2000)}}

Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Simalia.
