Boipeba tayasuensis

Boipeba is an extinct genus of blind snake from the Late Cretaceous (post-Turonian) of Brazil.

The species is known from a single precloacal vertebra from the Adamantina Formation of northwestern São Paulo.

The specific epithet tayasuensis refers to the species' discovery in Taiaçu municipality.

[1] Boipeba is thought to be the sister group to the Typhlopoidea, being more derived than Anomalepididae and Leptotyphlopidae, but basal to all other blind snake families.

The discovery of Boipeba in Brazil supports the idea that the Typhlopoidea may have originated in Gondwana.
