| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A moderately large species of the Typhlops biminiensis Group differing from T. biminiensis in having a rostral with an acuminate posterior edge, not broadly rounded. Also, the rostral has parallel sides and is not indented at the apex of the snout (Fig. 8 in THOMAS & HEDGES 2007). Typhlops perimychus additionally differs from T. biminiensis in having a more protuberant snout (NE) and a larger preocular apical diameter (PD), as noted above (Figs. 10A–10C). Diagnostic characters distinguishing this species from the other Cuban species will be discussed below as those species are described. |
