Iberian worm lizard
The Iberian worm lizard or European worm lizard ''(Blanus cinereus)'' is a species of reptile in the family Blanidae (worm lizards) of the suborder Amphisbaenidae.〔The Reptile Database. reptile-database.org.〕 There are 130 species of amphisbaenians, most found in Spain, Africa, South Africa, and the Caribbean islands. The Iberian worm lizard is locally known as ''cobra-cega'' (Portuguese), ''culebrilla ciega'' (Spanish), and ''colobreta cega'' (Catalan),〔(el País Valencià - Espais naturals protegits )〕 all meaning "blind snake". Recent studies into the mitochondrial and nuclear genomic data of 47 isolated ''B. cinereus'' populations show rather large sequence divergence between two apparent clades, leading some researchers to call for a division of the Iberian worm lizard into two species.〔Albert, E. M., R. Zardoya, and M. García-París. "Phylogeographical and Speciation Patterns in Subterranean Worm Lizards of the Genus Blanus (Amphisbaenia: Blanidae)." Molecular Ecology 16.7 (2007): 1519-531. Print.〕 While little is known of ''B. cinereus'' in comparison with some other reptile species, new insight is growing about this primitive, ancestral reptile.
==Geographic range==
The Iberian worm lizard is found within Portugal and through most of central and southern Spain.
