Comments

I'll take this one. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:04, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is a well-written and fully-cited article with an appropriate structure, so there is rather little that needs to be said about it.

"preoccupied", hm, yes, I guess so, but why not just say "was already in use"? (I think "preoccupied" is at least half-redundant with the existing "already", too.)
- Done.

I appreciate that it's hard to get images of these secretive snakes, but It's not ideal using the same image in the lead and in the table, specially below a blank space for one of the other species. It might be better to remove the image column altogether, and move the remaining image of A. weberi to the top of the "Description" section.
- I'm currently trying to get a photo of leonardi from iNaturalist, if it takes more than a week or so I'll remove the section.

Please link paraphyletic.
- Done.

The discussion of relatives and clades would be much better with the support of a cladogram. I see there is one in [11], from which only a small part needs to be taken for this article's purposes.
- Added a cladogram.
  - Thanks. I think you could root it in the Alethinophidia?
    - I'm not sure; it only depicts part of the family, so wouldn't that be a little misleading?
      - OK, I guess you could say "Part of ...", or else label the root and add another branch for "other families" to indicate incompleteness (I think I'd do the latter) so at least we have a root. No worries.

"diet consists of elongate invertebrates like earthworms and perhaps on small, slim vertebrates " --- the "on" should be "also of".
- Done.

"give birth to live young": please wikilink to Viviparity.
- Done.

The images on Commons are appropriately licensed.

All the sources are suitable, mainly primary research papers.

Spot-checks are all ok.
