Comment number:   1
By:   Darren Pietersen
Comment:   Ex. Leptotyphlops nigricans. Queried with FMNH. Their response (2021/8/2) is that this is actually a Telescopus beetzi, and that the preceding catalogue number is a Leptotyphlops nigricans. This error probably creeped in when digitizing he records (Joshua Mata in litt. 29 July 2021).
