摘要:Anops Bell 1833 is an endemic genus of South
American amphisbaenid, characterized mainly by
a strong vertically keeled head. Two species are
presently known: A. kingii (type species of the
genus) and A. bilabialatus Stimson 1972 (review
in Vanzolini 1999; Gans 2005). Contrasting with
the former species that is known from more than
one hundred specimens from Argentina, South
Brazil, and Uruguay (Vanzolini 1999), the later is
rare, until now known only from eight individuals,
all from two localities on the state of Mato Grosso,
Brazil. Here we report on 35 additional specimens
of A. bilabialatus recently collected, and provide
meristic and scales count data for them.
