Contents:
4 species, all of which are endemic.
Endemism: 0%  100%
Remarks:
Mott & Vieites (2009) synonymized Bronia (as well as
Anops,
Aulura,
Cercolophia, and
Leposternon)
with
Amphisbaena.
These genera are retained as valid herein, following many subsequent works (e.g., Ribeiro, Nogueira, Cintra, Silva & Zaher 2011; Ribeiro, Santos-Junior & Zaher 2015;
Costa & Bernils 2014; Cacciali, Scott, Aquino-Ortiz, Fitzgerald & Smith 2016, Ribeiro, Silveira & Santos-Junior 2018).

Amphisbaena bedai Mott & Vieites 2009 |
Remarks:
Recorded from Bahia by Pinna, Mendonca, Bocchiglieri & Fernandes (2010), but this record seems questionable, being far from the other known localities for the species
in Mato Grosso do Sul.
Moreover, Costa & Bérnils (2018) did not include Bahia in the distribution of the species.
