Lemuriatyphlops Pyron & Wallach (type species: Typhlops microcephalus Werner 1909; syn. Nagy, Marion, Glaw, Miralles, Nopper, Vences & Hedges 2015) |
Contents:
14 species, of which 13 (92.9%) are endemic.
Endemism: 0%  100%
Remarks:
The species of this genus were formerly included in the genus
Typhlops. Pyron & Wallach (2014) included four African species
(Afrotyphlops calabresii,
A. cuneirostris,
A. platyrhynchus,
Rhinotyphlops leucocephalus) in Madatyphlops,
but this was rejected by Nagy, Marion, Glaw, Miralles, Nopper, Vences & Hedges (2015).
Following these authors, the genus is endemic to the Comoro Archipelago and Madagascar, according to available information, however,
the origin of albanalis is uncertain.
Distribution:
Comoro Islands
(Anjouan,
Grande Comoro),
Madagascar
(incl.
Nosy Be).
