Snout rounded in dorsal profile, with a very slight inflation of the nasal region providing a very weakly trilobed appearance. Rostral almost as broad as long, round with a slightly truncate posterior margin, maximum width 69% of head width at level of centre of eyes. Rostral overlaps nasals and frontal; nasals broadly separated by frontal; frontal wider than long, wider than postfrontal, overlapping supraoculars and postfrontal; supraoculars moderately separated by frontal-postfrontal suture; postfrontal overlaps parietals and interparietal; parietals moderately separated by postfrontal-interparietal suture, but more narrowly than separation between supraoculars. Dorsolaterally, supraoculars wider than long, extensively overlapping ocular, with narrower overlaps of postfrontal and parietal; parietal wider than long, of similar width to supraocular, and overlapping interparietal, upper postocular, and first scale of third (left side) or second and third (right side) longitudinal scale rows.

Due to their fossorial habits, typhlopids are generally difficult to target by normal collecting and short-term survey methods, but are instead most often collected opportunistically by long-term residents close to settled areas. This effect is enhanced in the arid zone of

The majority of typhlopid specimens from the southern Northern Territory have been collected from the environs of Alice Springs, or near major tourist venues.
