Malayotyphlops hypogia Hedges, Marion, Lipp, Marin & Vidal 2014 |
Remarks:
Considered a synonym of ruber by McDowell (1974), followed by Wynn & Leviton (1993), however, McDiarmid, Campbell & Touré (1999) and Ferner, Brown, Sison & Kennedy (2001) retained the species as valid, pending a future revision. Also Hahn (1980) and Iskandar & Colijn (2001) listed it as a valid species. Ferner, Brown, Sison & Kennedy (2001) indicated that records of ruber from Cebu, Negros, Panay, and Masbate most likely refer to hypogius, a suggestion which is tentatively followed here in lack of a revision.
Distribution:

(Cebu,

Remarks:
McDowell (1974), followed by Wynn & Leviton (1993), considered hypogius and luzonensis as synonyms of ruber (see remarks under these species).
Ferner, Brown, Sison & Kennedy (2001) suggested that records from Cebu, Negros, Panay, and Masbate refer to hypogius.

Typhlops dichromatus Jan (Hahn 1980) |
|
1867 | |
Typhlops petersii Steindachner (Hahn 1980) |
Remarks:
Presence in Sulawesi needs confirmation, since only a single voucher specimen is available from the island (De Lang & Vogel 2005).
Although the grammatical gender of Malayotyphlops is masculine, the ending of the specific epithet, ruficauda, should not be changed to "-us",
since it is a noun in aposition, not an adjective (see Böhme & Denzer 2019).
Distribution:
Philippines
(Luzon,
Marinduque,
Sibuyan,
Tablas).
