Tropidonotus matrix is a misspelt synonym percolated to the top of squamates

[hyanwong]

This is clearly a misspelling of Tropidonotus natrix Eichwald, 1831 (with an "n"), which is a synonym for Natrix natrix already present in a sensible place on the OpenTree. The misspelling has meant this taxon has wrongly percolated to the top of the squamates.
