The Leptotyphlops reticulatus species group

This group is characterised by the presence of a discrete frontal shield, a rounded snout in lateral view, 10 midtail scale rows, a moderate anterior supralabial, a stout apical spine on the tail (Wallach, 1996), a moderate posterior supralabial and a crescentic cloacal shield. The robust skull has fused parietal bones in Leptotyphlops reticulatus and L. boulengeri. This group was initially known as the L. boulengeri species group (Wallach, 1996).
