Remarks
. Of the two species with ridges on the carapace in addition to the marginal carina, it is simple to differentiate between
Paralamprops caudodentatus
and
P. serratocostatus
. In
P. serratocostatus
the ridges are long and are all serrate or toothed, while in
P. caudodentatus
the ridges are very short and their margins are entire. Within
Platytyphlops
, there are no species with a similar carapace to
P. caudodentatus
.
