Scientists/nerd/zoologists are constantly getting things wrong/changing things/putting things right when really to pretty much everyone a corn snake is just a corn snake.
I think Elaphe is still the commonly accepted version.
The official and full version is long winded have a look into binomial/trinomical nomenclature (I think thats it anyway) and I'm sure wiki etc will have a decent explanation of it. |

It's pantherophis, or pretty much every site I've been on has it listed as that...

its split so the correct answer depends on who you ask. If a boffin writes a paper proposing a change of name then it has to be peer reviewed which is where the confusion arises because some will accept the change and others won't.
Pantherophis seems to be the 'accepted' name, whether it is 'correct' or not I don't know.
It was even proposed a few years back that corns (and other N. American ratsnakes of Elaphe/Pantherophis) should be reclassified as Pituophis species putting them in the same species group as pine, gopher, and bull snakes.
