Afrotyphlops anomalus, commonly known as the Angolan giant blind snake or the anomalous beaked snake, is a species of snake in the Typhlopidae family. It is endemic to Africa. Its classification was changed from Rhinotyphlops to Megatyphlops when Rhinotyphlops was found to be polyphyletic. In 2014 Megatyphlops was changed to Afrotyphlops.
