Hi intouch,
The scientific name for the dingo recognised by the International Committee on Zoological Nomenclature is Canis lupus dingo. That accords with the concept of the dingo as a subspecies of the Asian Wolf. The European Wolf found in Europe, Canada and the USA would be Canis lupus lupus.

Hello Liam.m. I received a message from you about dingoes. I have never studied them but care greatly about their survival. The best reference I can give you is: https://theconversation.com/dingoes-are-not-domestic-dogs-new-evidence-shows-these-native-canines-are-on-their-own-evolutionary-path-262938
I hope this helps our "conversations".
