Amerotyphlops brongersmianus (Vanzolini, 1976)

Record. Table 2

The Brongersma’s Worm Snake was distinguished by a combination of features, including size (TL ca 33 cm), rounded dorsal and lateral head profiles, typical scale pattern, with oval rostral and preocular scales contacting the second and third supralabial scales; the eyes are small with distinct pupils. This snake is reddish brown with dark dorsal lines reaching to the black and yellowish venter. We found 1 individual that was partially smashed by vehicle traffic and identified it through comparison to museum specimens (e.g. ZUFMS-REP00197, REP00198).
