Typhlops tycherus Townsend, Wilson, Ketzler and Luque-Montes, 2008 (Squamata: Serpentes: Typhlopidae): significant range extension for this Honduran endemic

Abstract

We report the second known museum specimen of Typhlops tycherus, a blindsnake endemic to Honduras. This new specimen is from a locality about 240 km from the species’ type locality, thus documenting that T. tycherus has a broader geographical distribution than previously thought.
