Leptotyphlops goudotii, or the black blind snake, is a species of snake in the family Leptotyphlopidae. The species is endemic to Middle America.[2][3]

Etymology

The specific name, goudotii, is in honor of French naturalist Justin-Marie Goudot.[4]

Geographic range

In Central America, L. goudotii is found in Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico (Oaxaca), Nicaragua, and Panama.[1]

In South America, it is found in western Colombia, Venezuela,[5] and on associated islands.[1]

Subspecies

Three subspecies are recognized as valid, including the nominotypical subspecies.[1]

Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Leptotyphlops.

The subspecific name, bakewelli, is in honor of Anderson Bakewell (1913-1999), an American Jesuit priest, who collected the type specimen.[4]
