Abstract

The snake generic nomen Typhlops was derived from the Greek words τυφλός (tuphlós), ‘blind’ and ὤψ (ops), ‘eye, face’. In the herpetological and taxonomic literature and databases, there are two competing opinions regarding the authorship and date of this generic nomen: either Schneider (1801) or Oppel (1811).
