Rhineuridae is a family[1] of amphisbaenians (commonly called worm lizards) that includes one living genus and species, Rhineura floridana,[2] as well as many extinct species belonging to both Rhineura and several extinct genera. The living R. floridana is found only in Georgia and Florida,[3] but extinct species ranged across North America, some occurring as far west as Oregon. The family has a fossil record stretching back 60 million years to the Paleocene[4] and was most diverse in the continental interior during the Eocene and Oligocene.[5]
