Typhlops meszoelyi, a new species of blind snake from northeastern India (Serpentes: Typhlopidae)

I describe a new species of blind snake, Typhlops meszoelyi, from the high elevations of Darjeeling, Assam. It superficially resembles three Indian species (T. exiguus, T. loveridgei, and T. porrectus) but can be distinguished from them by a preocular larger than the ocular, a deep concavity in the posterior border of the nasal, a nostril that is visible dorsally, a fourth supralabial that is at least twice the size of the third supralabial, and a faint eyespot located beneath the ocular in both dorsal and lateral views.
