Chirindia
The pink round-headed worm lizards (''Chirindia'') are a genus in the family Amphisbaenidae, that are native to East and southern Africa, from Tanzania to South Africa. They are unpigmented worm lizards with rounded heads, and extensive fusion of the head shields.〔 ==Description== The ''Chirindia'' are some 13.5 cm long, with the tail 1.4 cm, and the body is 3 mm in diameter. They are uniformly, unpigmented flesh-coloured, tinged with purplish, and have minute teeth.〔 They usually lack an ocular shield, and each eye is situated under the posterior part of a large fused shield, that combines the nasal, second and sometimes first upper labial, prefrontal and sometimes the ocular shield into one,〔 so as to cover all of one side of the snout. The pair of large shields, fused with the ocular to cover each side of the snout, combined with a small azygous rostral shield, are comparable to that of genus ''Placogaster'' of the Senegambia, but the paired ventral shields, and absence of pre-anal pores in some species distinguish them.〔
