Worm Lizards (Amphisbaenidae)
Amphisbaenians are limbless squamates whoses pectoral and pelvic girdles have been significantly reduced or are absent. Usually they have a distinctly annulated pattern of scutellation and rather short tails. Amphisbaenids are adapted to a burrowing life style and accordingly, their skulls are heavily ossified and their brain is entirely surrounded by the frontal bones. In contrast to other limbless lizards or snakes, which have a reduced left lung, the right lung of amphisbaenians is reduced in size. List of Genera.

Herp Encyclopedia - Amphisbaenia
If the frogs, snakes and lizards are the famous members of the herp world, the amphisbaenians or better called "worm lizards" must be the animals behind the scenes that nobody hears about. The worm lizards belong in the group known as the squamates which include both snakes and lizards. They are probably the least known herp behind the tuatara and caecilians. [eng]
