The striated worm-lizard (Aprasia striolata) is a species of legless lizard in the family Pygopodidae.

[4] In 1994, Webb and Shine dissected 615 preserved pygopodid museum specimens to study their life-history.

[5] Several of their morphological and trophic features make them similar to sympatric Typholopidae (blind snakes).

[4] Found burrowing in a wide variety of habitats that have mostly dry sandy or loamy soils.

[5] It is also unknown how they defend or cope with the defences of adult ants that are not likely to simply standby and watch while their brood is consumed.

[5] All other Squamate species in this relatively cool-climate southern Australian area tend to have strong seasonally based reproductive cycles.

[5] The dentition characteristics of Aprasia where premaxilla are present in males but lacking in juveniles and females have generally been interpreted by evolutionary biologists as either a result of sexual selection (enhancing ability to win physical combat against other males, or to hold females during copulation) or as a dietary mechanism where males consume different or larger prey than females.
