Talk:Rhinotyphlops

Polyphyly
The polyphyletic nature of the species lumped together under Rhinotyphlops by Roux-Estève (1974), appears to have led to the separation of those genera into four genera: Afrotyphlops, Letheobia, Megatyphlops and a smaller Rhinotyphlops. See: Abstract;  and  ITIS has yet (December 2013) to make any changes in their listings. Perhaps because the Scolecophidia are not a current interest of Dr. Roy W. McDiarmid. See lead to List of snake genera. Nonetheless, other databases such as the Reptile Database have updated their listings. Is there any reason why we should not update the Wikipedia to reflect what seems, for several years, to be the new consensus? --Bejnar (talk) 22:31, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
