Lomi's blind legless skink

Lomi's blind legless skink (Typhlosaurus lomiae) is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae.

[2] The specific name lomiae honours Miss Lomi Wessels Brown, Collection Manager of lower vertebrates and invertebrates at the Transvaal Museum since 1976.

[2][3] In 1986 South African herpetologist Wulf Dietrich Haacke originally named this species Typhlosaurus lomii, which is masculine (genitive singular).

In 2004 J. Pieter Michels and Aaron Matthew Bauer corrected the specific name to lomiae, which is feminine (genitive singular) because it honors a woman.

Dorsally, it is bright goldish pink, while ventrally, it is whitish and almost translucent.
