The Mbanja worm lizard (Chirindia ewerbecki), also known commonly as Ewerbeck's round-headed worm lizard, is a species of amphisbaenian in the family Amphisbaenidae.

[2] The specific name, ewerbecki, is in honor of German customs official Karl Ewerbeck, who collected the holotype.

[3] C. ewerbecki is found in extreme southeastern Tanzania.

[1] The preferred natural habitat of C. ewerbecki is savanna, at an altitude of about 300 m (980 ft).

[2] Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Chirindia.
