Remarks:
Previously regarded as a synonym of
Leptotyphlops scutifrons (e.g., Hahn 1980). Revalidated by Broadley & Broadley (1999). Boundy (2014) noted that latifrons is an overlooked, junior subjective synonym of Glauconia scutifrons Boulenger 1893, but recommended retaining the name latifrons, since scutifrons has not been mentioned since 1865.
Distribution:
