Malayotyphlops is a genus of snakes in the family Typhlopidae.
The 12 species of the genus Malayotyphlops are found in Indonesia and the Philippines. [1]
The following species are recognized as being valid. [1]
Nota bene : A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Malayotyphlops.
Gekko is a genus of Southeast Asian geckos, commonly known as true geckos or calling geckos, in the family Gekkonidae. Although species such as Gekko gecko are very widespread and common, some species in the same genus have a very small range and are considered rare or endangered. Fossils, including Yantarogekko, date back to the Eocene.
Luperosaurus is a genus of lizards, commonly known as camouflage geckos, fringed geckos, wolf geckos, and flap-legged geckos, in the family Gekkonidae. The genus is native to Southeast Asia.
Ophiomorus is a genus of Old World skinks.
Calamaria is a large genus of dwarf burrowing snakes of the family Colubridae. It contains 65 recognized species. They are found in Asia.
Eutropis is a genus of skinks belonging to the subfamily Mabuyinae. For long, this genus was included in the "wastebin taxon" Mabuya; it contains the Asian mabuyas. They often share their habitat with the related common skinks (Sphenomorphus), but they do not compete significantly as their ecological niches differ. This genus also contains the only member of the subfamily to occur in Australasia, the many-lined sun skink, whose wide range includes New Guinea.
Cyclocorus is a genus of lamprophiid snakes endemic to the Philippines. They are found on every major island except for those of the Palawan chain.
Acutotyphlops banaorum is a species of snake in the family Typhlopidae. The species is endemic to the Philippines.
Taylor's worm snake is a species of snake in the Typhlopidae family.
Malayotyphlops castanotus, also known as the brown-backed blind snake or Wynn's worm snake, is a species of snake in the Typhlopidae family.
Malayotyphlops collaris, also known as the collared worm snake or light-collared blind snake, is a species of snake in the Typhlopidae family.
Malayotyphlops hypogius, also known as the Cebu blind snake or Cebu Island worm snake, is a species of snake in the Typhlopidae family.
The Kei Island worm snake is a species of snake in the family Typhlopidae.
Malayotyphlops luzonensis, also known as the Luzon blind snake or Luzon worm snake, is a species of snakes in the Typhlopidae family.
Malayotyphlops ruficauda, commonly known as brown blind snake or red-headed worm snake, is a species of snake in the Typhlopidae family. It is endemic to the Philippines, where it is found on the islands of Luzon, Tablas and Marinduque.
Pseudorabdion is a genus of snakes of the family Colubridae.
Boiga schultzei, commonly known as the Schultze's blunt-headed tree snake, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. The species is endemic to the Philippines.
The Gerrhopilidae are a family of blindsnakes that contains at least 16 species in the genus Gerrhopilus, and possibly others as well. These blindsnakes are found in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea.
The Cyclocorinae are a subfamily of lamprophiid snakes endemic to the Philippines. It was erected in 2017 to house 4 enigmatic, endemic genera containing 7 species and one undescribed lineage that are more closely related to one another than to members of the subfamilies Atractaspidinae and Aparallactinae or to other subfamilies of Lamprophiidae. Previously placed within Colubridae, a 2017 study by Weinell et al. found strong support the monophyly of Cyclocorinae within Lamprophiidae, but its position relative to the other subfamilies of Lamprophiidae is not resolved. Cyclocorinae was found to be a possible sister group to Atractaspidinae. Despite high support for a close relationship from DNA, there are no unambiguous morphological characteristics that unite these four genera. A fifth genus, Levitonius, was described in 2020.
Pinoyscincus is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. All species in the genus are endemic to the Philippines. Species in this genus were previously assigned to the genus Sphenomorphus.
