The collared blind snake (Habrophallos collaris) is a species of snake in the family Leptotyphlopidae.[2] It was previously placed in the genus Leptotyphlops and then Epictia, until in 2019 a phylogenetic analysis found it couldn't be placed in either genus, and a new genus was created for it. It is monotypic in the genus Habrophallos.[3]
