 Comments
       
  Comment: Rhinolophis philippinus (Müller, 1832) would be a junior secondary homonym of Rhinolophis philippinus (Cuvier, 1829), and so in placing Pseudotyphlops into synonymy under Rhinolophis Pyron et al. (2016) designate next available synonym Uropeltis saffragamus Kelaart, 1853 (Rhinolophis saffragamus n. comb.) as the taxon name
