Agamodon arabicus (Arabian Worm Lizard)

Wikipedia Abstract

Agamodon arabicus (Arabian worm lizard) is a species of reptile in the Trogonophidae family. It is found in the southern part of the Arabian peninsula. The population is unknown as it has only been recorded in the past 100 years. The threats are also unknown but does not seem to be threatened by Yemen's small-scale agriculture. Not much is known about this species hence the data deficient status.
