Preface In the period of 1893—96, Boulenger published the first comprehensive checklist of the Scolecophidia. Werner updated these checklists in 1917 (Leptotyphlopidae) and 1921 (Typhlopidae and what is now Anomalepididae). Since this time no fewer than 179 new forms have been described, and revisions of the species of many areas have also appeared. These checklists have here been brought up to date and set out in the DAS TIERREICH format. Literature citation abbreviations are consistant with those used in the series. All primary synonyms and major spelling variations have been listed for each form, as has the first use of the current combination. The present location and museum number of each extant primary type specimen have been listed, where known. Under each taxon I have listed the most recent publication(s) dealing in some detail with that form. Where no publication is listed, it may be assumed that nothing significant has appeared since the original description, or Boulenger and Werner's checklists. Many taxonomic problems still exist within the Scolecophidia. The systematics of most Asian forms especially is still in a primitive state. Numerous species of these secretive burrowing snakes are known only from the holotype, and little is known of the variation that exists in most species. An accurate drawing of the head scutulation of the worm snakes is worth more than a thousand words of description, yet many species have never been figured, and many of those that have, are not accurately drawn. This is mainly due to the small size of most species, and the difficulty in distinguishing the shiny, close-fitting head scales, even under adequate magnification. Scale counts now considered standard are also lacking in most descriptions for the same reasons. I have consistently followed the zoological nomenclature committee's decision to consider all generic names ending in -ops as masculine (1972. Bull. zool. Nomencl. 29 (4): 177). Many new name combinations were formed in McDowell's (1974) important work on the systematics of the Typhlopidae of the New Guinea area. For consistency, it has been necessary to assign the remaining species occurring in the Australasian and Asian areas not mentioned in his work to the most probable generic placement — Typhlops or Typhlina. Museums housing type material are referred to by the following abbreviations. My sincere thanks goes to the listed curators for providing information on their collections. A.M.N.H. A.N.S.P. B.M.N.H.

Addendum While this paper was being edited, a number of significant works have appeared or have been accepted for publication dealing with the Leptotyphlopidae and Typhlopidae. To make this checklist as up-to-date and as useful as possible, a few comments on these publications appear to be in order. STIMSON, R O B B , and UNDERWOOD ( 1 9 7 7 ) showed that the genus Typhlina was based on two species, Acontias lineatus REINWARDT, a nomen nudum at the time, and Typhlops sentemstriatus SCHNEIDER, a species now belonging in the genus Leptotyphlops. The next available generic name for the Australian area typhlopids is Ramphotyphlops FITZINGER, 1 8 4 3 . The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature was requested to supress the name Typhlina WAGLER, 1 8 3 0 , and to place the generic names Leptotyphlops FITZINGER, 1 8 4 3 , and Ramphotyphlops FITZINGER, 1 8 4 3 on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology. SMITH ( 1 9 7 7 ) was in agreement with these findings and recommendations. HAHN ( 1 9 7 8 ) reviewed the Asian and Socotran Island Leptotyphlops forms, and named one new species: Leptotyphlops wilsoni

1978 Leptotyphlops wilsoni HAHN, J. Herpet., Lawrence, 12 (4): 4 7 7 - 4 8 9 . - T e r r a t y p i c a : Kirschon, Socotra Island. - H o l o t y p e : B.M.N.H. 1957.1.10.28.

R a n g e : Socotra Island, northwestern Indian Ocean. In the same paper Leptotyphlops erythraeus,L. braccianii, and L. phillipsi were shown to be conspecific with L. macrorhynchus. Leptotyphlops nursi was considered to be a race of L. blanfordi. Glauconia laticeps was removed from the synonymy of L. hamulirostris, and tentatively placed in that of/,. b. blanfordi. THOMAS (1976), in an as yet unpublished dissertation, has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the systematics of the Antillean Typhlops. — HAHN (1977) reviewed ROUX-ESTEVE'S "Revision Systematique des Typhlopidae d'Afrique, Reptilia — Serpentes" and provided a summary taxonomic innovations. The revival of the genus Rhinotyphlops was questioned. — HAHN (1979a) showed that Leptotyphlops amazonicus belongs in the synonomy of L. signatum. — HAHN (1979b, c, d; in press) summarized the literature dealing with the family Leptotyphlopidae, the genus Leptotyphlops, and the species L. humilis, L. dulcis, andZ,. maximus. - ZUG (1977) reported on the distribution and variation of Leptotyphlops tricolor. - HOOGMOED (1977) reviewed the Leptotyphlops species occurring in Surinam.
