| Diagnosis | Diagnosis. We assign our specimen to the genus Liotyphlops because it presents the following unique combination of diagnostic features reported for the genus: enlarged, non-polygonal head scales with rounded posterior margins; the enlarged rostral joins a short and broad frontal shield, completely separating prefrontals; midbody scale rows 22 to 28; and a tail with a terminal spine. Liotyphlops pino sp. nov. can be distinguished from its congeners by the unique combination of the following characters: three scales contacting the posterior border of the prefrontals; one scale in contact with posterior border of the nasal between second supralabial and prefrontal; three scales on the first vertical row of body; supralabials three; infralabials three; scale between prefrontal and ocular anterior absent; midbody rows of scales 22; 425 “dorsal” scales between rostral and terminal spine; 414 “ventral” scales; and 11 subcaudal scales. The color pattern on the frontal and gular region is pale brown, with a nuchal collar slightly lighter than the rest of the body, relatively dark brown body, which becomes slightly lighter on its posterior region.
