is a small, slender blind snake characterized by the following combined characters: 16 midbody scale rows, 442 paravertebral scales, snout slightly trilobed from above and bluntly angular in profile, nasal scale not completely divided, nasal cleft not visible from above and joining the second supralabial scale, small, inconspicuous eyes, located within the ocular scale at its junction with the preocular and the supraocular scales, light uniform colouration with no differentiation between dorsal and ventral surfaces.

Snout slightly trilobed from above (rostral extending beyond curvature of head and an indentation present on sides of the rostral); snout bluntly angular in profile. Rostral scale from above large, elliptical, slightly longer than wide, about half the width of head, its posterior margin not reaching back to level of the eyes; ventral lobe about as long as wide, but tapering strongly towards mouth. Nasal scales from above appear slightly swollen and well separated by the prefrontal scale. Nostrils positioned ventro-laterally in lower portion of the nasal scale, about midway between the rostral and preocular. Nasal cleft extends from the second supralabials scale through nostril to a little beyond (about 1/3–1/4 the distance between nostril and rostral scale); nasal cleft not visible from above. Preocular scale narrower than ocular and nasal scales, about half the width of the nasal. Eyes small and inconspicuous, positioned within ocular scale near its junction with preocular and supraocular scales. Ocular in contact posteriorly with parietal, two postoculars and fourth supralabial. Frontal smaller than prefrontal and interparietal. Supraocular subequal in size to parietal, in broad contact anteriorly with prefrontal and in narrow contact with nasal and preocular; posteriorly in contact with ocular, parietal and frontal. Four supralabials, first smallest and overlapped by nasal, second larger and overlapped by nasal and preocular, third larger than the second and overlapping the ocular (pattern T-III

: Uniformly cream over the dorsal and ventral surfaces, with no indication of any pigmentation on the scales. Eyes are dark but inconspicuous. The colouration in life cannot be ascertained with certainty as neither photos nor detailed notes were taken at the time of collection. However, the specimen has been stored away from light for as long as it has been in the museum collection, so it is unlikely to have faded to any degree (Patrick Couper pers. comm.).
