Until recently the Worm Snake on Lefkada was known only for a single specimen collected in 1929 by M. Beier ( Werner, 1929: 478). Recently Schmid ( 2019: 75) reported on a second individual after about a century, unfortunately not providing information on the locality and date of the sighting, and not providing a picture.
