Pythonine snakes (Boidae) from the Miocene of Australia

Two new species of pythonine snake (Boidae) are described from middle to late Miocene local faunas at Riversleigh (Queensland) and Bullock Creek (Northern Territory). To date, they are the oldest records of snakes in Australia, and their age implies that snakes entered Australia in the late Cretaceous or early Tertiary, before the break up of Gondwanaland.
