liasis taxonomy?

Hey all,

After realizing I loved several liasis species, I did some web searching to find out how many and which liasis species there are. Unfortunately I've run into some conflicting information. For instance, I've seen children's python listed as liasis childreni on some sites (isn't it antaresia or some such genus?). I've seen the Savu python (sometimes called Sawu?) listed both as Liasis Savuensis and Liasis Mackloti Savuensis.

Anyone know what the latest word on liasis taxonomy is, or where I can find the definitive source on it?

As a side note, what are the capitalization conventions for writing genus species and subspecies?

thanks,
rg
