Abstract
The blind snake Helminthophis flavoterminatus (Peters, 1857) is a species of Anomalepididae with distribution throughout northwestern Venezuela and western Colombia. Its osteology is poorly known, and thus this study presents information on its skull structure based on High-Resolution X-Ray Computed Tomography. The absence of the supraoccipital bone can be used for the determination of H. flavoterminatus in relation to its congeners, Helminthophis frontalis (Peters, 1860) and Helminthophis praeocularis Amaral, 1924.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
