}}The neglected worm lizard (Amphisbaena neglecta) is a worm lizard species in the genus Amphisbaena. It is endemic to Brazil.[1] Geographic rangeIt is found in the Central-West Region, Brazil.[1] StatusThe species is only known from the first specimen collected and has likely been threatened by a reservoir constructed for hydroelectric power, however extensive searches have not located this species. Chapada dos Guimarães National Park is next to the reservoir so the worm lizard may be protected and also threatened.[2] References1. ^1 2 The Reptile Database. www.reptile-database.org
