''Typhlosaurus'' is a genus of African lizards, one of a number of genera of limbless lizards in the skink family (Scincidae). This group was recently revised with most species formerly attributed to ''Typhlosaurus'' now placed in ''Acontias''. The current definition of ''Typhlosaurus'' includes five attenuate body legless lizards from southwestern Africa (South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Angola). This is the sister genus to ''Acontias'', which together form the well supported Afrotropical subfamily Acontinae.〔 ==Species== Five species are recognized.〔The Reptile Database. www.reptile-database.org.〕 *''Typhlosaurus braini'' Haacke, 1964 *''Typhlosaurus caecus'' (Cuvier, 1817) *''Typhlosaurus lomiae'' Haacke, 1986 *''Typhlosaurus meyeri'' Boettger, 1894 *''Typhlosaurus vermis'' Boulenger, 1887 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Typhlosaurus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
