Does anyone know anything about this subspecies or any referance material to it? The Queensland musuem has 1 speciman lodged and coming from the Cape York Peninsula area.

Sure its a valid species name? Never heard of it. Possibly a synonym?

I was looking on the wa museum faunabase site (http://www.museum.wa.gov.au/faunabase/prod/index.htm)
It is a specimen lodged in the the queensland musuem thats all I know. Maybe a quick email to the QLD musuem is in order to find out out details of the specimen and maybe a photo of the specimen.

As far as I understand, there are only two recognised subspecies of Varanus tristis, those being Varanus tristis occidentalis and obviously Varanus tristis tristis.
