Ophiomorus blanfordii Boulenger, 1887

HOLOTYPE. BMNH 80.11 .10.188.

TYPE LOCALITY. Originally stated as “ Persia or Baluchistan”; restricted by Anderson & Leviton (1966b) to Chah Bahar [Chabahar], Sistan and Baluchistan Prov., Iran.

DISTRIBUTION. SE Iran and SW Pakistan.

DISTRIBUTION IN IRAN. Fig. 132 View FIGURES 128–133. 128 . Known with certainty only from the type locality, although there are more mentions of this species but without exact locality data ( Boulenger 1887; Werner 1917).

HABITAT. Coastal sand dunes with sparse vegetation ( Khan 2006).

REMARKS. Boulenger in his original description used the spelling ‘ blanfordii ’ with a double ‘i’, hence the spelling ‘ blanfordi ’ used by many authors ( Smith 1935; Anderson & Leviton 1966b; Anderson 1999; Khan 2006; Sindaco & Jeremčenko 2008) is incorrect.
