Myriopholis cairi (Duméril and Bibron, 1844) View in CoL

Material: Eight specimens.

Locality: Bilma (8, coll. MNHN).

Trape and Mané

Literature records: Bilma ( Angel 1936, Angel and Lhote 1938, as Leptotyphlops macrorhynchus bilmaensis ; Hahn and Roux-Estève 1979, Hahn and Wallach 1998, Trape 2002, as Leptotyphlops cairi ); Téouar ( Villiers 1950 a, 1950b, as Leptotyphlops macrorhynchus bilmaensis ).

Remarks: IFAN 47-4-38 from Téouar (Aïr Mountains) is apparently lost: we have been unable to find it in Dakar or Paris. However, data on this specimen provided by Villiers (1950b) exclude Myriopholis algeriensis , Myriopholis boueti , Myriopholis adleri , and Myriopholis lanzai , and fit well with Myriopholis cairi .
