Anniellidae
The Anniellidae is a family of three described taxa known only from coastal California, from near San Francisco
south to central Baja. They are all diminutive, thin, limbless burrowers found in loose dry soils. They are similar
enough to the Anguidae that some authors place them in that larger family. However, anniellids lack an external ear
opening or the lateral fold that characterize many limbless anguids. The name "Anniella" is derived from Latin and
means "little worm." [eng]
