| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A moderately large, moderately stout, dark blind-snake with beaked snout, 22 midbody scale rows and nasal cleft usually proceeding from second labial.

Color: Dorsal and upper lateral surfaces brownish-black (paler in juveniles), lower surfaces whitish; boundary between dark and pale coloration jagged, owing to lateral scales being wholly dark or wholly pale (as in R. australis). |
