COMMENTS
. — H a a c k e (1997) reviewed the taxonomic and nomenclatural history of
Typhlacontias punctatissimus
and its subspecies and recognized two sympatric subspecies in southern Angola —
T. punctatissimus punctatissimus
Bocage, 1873, and the Angolan endemic T. punctatissimus bogerti Laurent, 1964. In all of our specimens, the second and third upper labials are in contact with the eye and there is a second supraocular. Both characters fit the description presented by Haacke (1997) as diagnostic for
T. punctatissimus bogerti
. The species is known to be viviparous and one female specimen (CAS 254945) contains an almost fully developed neonate.
