摘要：The Scolecophidia is a basal group in the
phylogeny of snakes and includes three families
of very odd creatures, collectively called
Blind Snakes (Greene 1997). The family
Anomalepididae (Dawn Blind Snakes) is
considered the world’s smallest snakes and they
are represented currently by four genera
comprising 17 species: Anomalepis Jan, 1860
(4 ssp.), Helminthophis Peters, 1860 (3 ssp.),
Liotyphlops Peters, 1860 (8 ssp.), and Typhlophis
Fitzinger, 1843 (2 ssp.) (Uetz et al. 2008), ranging
from southern Middle America (Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, and Panama) to South America (Argentina,
Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and
Uruguay) (Carreira 2004; Freire et al. 2007).
Liotyphlops is the richest genus in the family with
eight species currently recognized: L. albirostris
(Peters, 1857), L. anops (Cope, 1899), L. argaleus
Dixon and Kofron, 1984, L. beui (Amaral, 1924),
L. schubarti Vanzolini, 1948, L. ternetzii
(Boulenger, 1896), L. wilderi (Garman, 1883),
and L. trefauti (Freire, Caramaschi and Argôlo,
2007) (Freire et al. op cit.).
