Xenotyphlops

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Xenotyphlops is a monotypic genus created for the blind snake species, X. grandidieri, found in Madagascar. No subspecies are currently recognized. In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group with only one biological type. The term's usage differs slightly between botany and zoology. The term monotypic has a separate use in conservation biology, monotypic habitat, regarding species habitat conversion eliminating biodiversity and restoration ecology concerning a dominant invasive biological type. In botany, a monotypic taxon is a taxon that has only one species: Ginkgo is a monotypic genus, while Ginkgoaceae is a monotypic family. The phrase is not accurate in cases where a species includes more than a single type; some species may include several subspecies each of which will have a type. A more accurate term in those cases is unispecific.
