Specimen.

Angola: Quindumbo : BMNH 1946.1.11.18 [ lectotype of Typhlops boulengeri Bocage, 1893 , originally BMNH 1893.12.27.12 ; Fig. 32 View Figure 32 ] .

Comments.

Bocage (1893 a) described Typhlops boulengeri based on an unspecified number of specimens collected by Anchieta at Quindumbo, one of which he presented to the British Museum in the same year ( Boulenger 1896). Broadley and Wallach (2009) designated the British Museum specimen as lectotype of Typhlops boulengeri , which the authors considered a synonym of Afrotyphlops lineolatus .
