Aspidites is a genus of pythons endemic to Australia.

The name can be translated as "shield bearer" and pertains to the symmetrically shaped head scales.

[2] These snakes lack the heat-sensitive pits between the labial scales that most other python species have.

[citation needed] The head is slightly wider than the neck, and the eyes are small, with a vertically elliptic pupils.

[6] However, these descriptions are questionable, as they do not include proper diagnoses and seem to be based only on distribution.
