Taxonomic and distributional notes: Bauer et al. (1995) incorrectly regarded ZMB 5706 as 
a possible syntype. Adalsteinsson et al. (2009) recently identified numerous undescribed cryptic 
species within the L. scutifrons/incognitus/conjunctus complex that will require detailed analysis 
to stabilize the taxonomy of the group (Bates et al. 2014). The generic map for Leptotyphlops 
provided by Adelsteinsson et al. (2009) shows no species in Angola except in far southeastern 
Cuando Cubango and in eastern Mexico. Some of the specimens referenced in the works cited 
above may be referable to Namibiana latifrons, so surviving material must be examined.
