Leucism in Rena unguirostris and Amerotyphlops brongersmianus (Serpentes: Scolecophidia) from northeastern Argentina

Chromatic anomalies have been recorded in different species of sankes, however in scole­cophidian snake the records are very scarce due to their fossorial habits. In this work, we report the first cases of leucism in Rena unguirostris and Amerotyphlops brongersmianus from northeast of Argentina. We...

Las anomalías cromáticas han sido registradas en diferentes especies de serpientes, sin em­bargo en escolecofidios las observaciones son muy escasas debido a sus hábitos fosoriales. En este trabajo, reportamos los primeros casos de leucismo para Rena unguirostris y Amerotyphlops brongersmianus del nordeste de Argentina. Se describe la coloración corporal en ambos taxa y se confirma la prevalencia de individuos adultos leucistas de A. brongersmianus potencialmente reproductivos en la naturaleza, demostrando que esta anomalía cromática no sería una desventaja para esta especie. 2024-05-03T11:16:15Z 2024-05-03T11:16:15Z 2020 Artículo Ruiz García, José Augusto y Tedesco, María Esther, 2020.
