CommentSubspecies: Leptotyphlops dulcis myopicus has been elevated to a full species, L. myopicus, with one race, L. myopicus iversoni, by DIXON & VAUGHAN (2003). L. d. iversoni (SMITH et al. 1998) is here treated as valid species. However, FLORES-VILLELA et al. 2022 synonymized dissecta, rubella and myopica (again) with dulcis.

Distribution: For (older) maps see Hahn 1979. For a map of the dulcis group see Villela-Flores et al. 2022 (although it’s black and white and all symbols look more or less the same). R. dissecta is not in Sonora fide Lemos-Espinal et al. 2019.

Group: the dulcis group of Leptotyphlops contains dulcis, bressoni, iversoni, klauberi, and segrega.The dulcis group of Leptotyphlops as defined by Klauber (1940), now allocated to the genus Rena (Adalsteinsson et al., 2009) is characterized by having a cream-colored ventral surface with scant dark pigmentation, lacking a sharply contrasting white spot on the snout or tail tip, and lacking a pattern of longitudinal lines on the dorsum. Flores-Villela et al. 2022 refer to the R. dulcis group those species having 10 scale rows around the tail.

Synonymy: S. tenuiculus was reported from Mexico (San Luis Potosi, Tamaulipas); Type locality: San Luis Potosi (city?), but not in San Luis Potosí fide Lemos-Espinal et al. 2018 (checklist SLP). The holotype of R. tenuicula lacks divided anterior supralabials, but has 10 scales around the tail. Based on our examination of the holotype of R. h. tenuicula (Stenostoma tenuiculum, MCZ 4519), and the considerable variation in middorsal scale counts, supraoculars and anterior supralabials exhibited by R. dulcis (Table 2), Flores-Villela et al. 2022 consider R. tenuicula as belonging to the R. dulcis group, but leave it in the synonymy of R. dulcis.

NCBI taxonID: 711327 [dissecta] 
EtymologyThe specific name is the Latin word dulcis, meaning "sweet."

The name myopicus is derived from the Greek word myops, meaning "near-sighted" and icus, a suffix denoting a condition, in reference to the position of the eye under the ocular scale.
