"November 23, 1971."

"The basins of the Amazon and Orinoco rivers include the seemingly restricted ranges of three monotypic amphisbaenian genera."

"Three monospecific genera of Neotropical amphisbaenids, Aulura, Bronia, and Mesobaena are redescribed, based on all known available specimens. A key to all American genera of amphisbaenians is included. Each form is considered a valid species, seemingly sufficiently discrete to justify the retention of the genus. Only for Mesobaena are sample size and field data sufficient to document geographical variation"--P. [1].
