Leptotyphlops sundevalli (Jan, 1862)

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — No available specimen.

DISTRIBUTION. — Leptotyphlops sundevalli was mentioned from Togo by Sternfeld (1909: 8; as Glauconia sundevalli Jan, 1862 ) from specimens collected at Missahohe, and Hughes & Barry (1969).

Sternfeld (1908b, 1909: 8; as Glauconia conjuncta Jan, 1861 ) also mentioned the presence in Togo of Leptotyphlops conjunctus (Jan, 1861) , a valid species known from Southern Africa. Pending the re-examination of specimens obtained by Sternfeld, we cannot ascertain the identification of this specimen, which may be Leptotyphlops bicolor , or L. sundevalli or even another taxon.
