Abstract

In this article, we report on the widespread Palearctic species, Pytho depressus (Linnaeus, 1767), in Belgium. We present the current distribution data of P. depressus in Belgium and unravel and interpret its distribution and habitat. Based on the limited observations, Pytho depressus seems to be rare and sporadic.
