Typhlops cariei : ウィキペディア英語版 | Typhlops cariei ''Typhlops cariei'' commonly known as Hoffstetter's worm snake is an extinct blind snake species which was endemic to Mauritius. It is named for Paul Carié (1876–1930), an amateur naturalist attached to the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle, who made excavations in Mare aux Songes around 1900 where the remains of this species were discovered. ==Description== ''Typhlops cariei'' is known only from seven fossil vertebrae from the middle region of the trunk,〔 including two sets of connected vertebra and one isolated vertebra. With an estimated length of more than 200 mm〔Anthony Cheke & Julian Hume (2008): ''Lost Land of the Dodo'' T. & A.D. Poyser. ISBN 0-7136-6544-0. p 314〕 it was significantly larger than ''Ramphotyphlops braminus'', a blind snake which still occurs on Mauritius. ''T. cariei'' was also distinct by various characters of the vertebral morphology.〔Hoffstetter, 1946 : Les Typhlopidae fossiles.
