This large blunt-headed lizard is immediately recognizable by its extremely long round tail that is at least twice the snouth–vent length, its robust body and rela- tively thin legs, and the presence of a large subtympanic scale ( Peters and Donoso-Barros 1970, Savage 2002). In addition, it lacks toe pads, nuchal, dorsal and caudal crests ( Peters and Donoso-Barros 1970, Savage 2002). It differs from Polychrus marmoratus , the other species that could be sympatric, because the latter has a row of enlarged scales, forming a crest, in the mental and gular regions, which is absent in P. gutturosus ( Peters and Donoso-Barros 1970) .

This speices differs from other Lepidoblepharis species by having granular dorsals (cycloid in L. sanctaemartae ), 12–14 lamellae under the fourth toe (<10 in L. victormartinezi and L. emberawoundule ; Batista et al. 2015), median subcaudal scales more than twice as wide as the laterally adjacent subcaudals (less than 2 times in L. rufigularis ; Batista et al. 2015).

This legless lizard is distinguished by its bullet-like head and rectangular body scales arranged in transversal rings (annuli). It has a whitish or pink ground with a large amount of irregular brown blotches, often obscuring ground color ( Vanzolini 2002). Amphisbaena varia has traditionally been considered a subspecies of A. fuliginosa ( Vanzolini 1951, 2002, Köhler 2008), but Gans (2005) elevated it to species level without further explanation.
