The Darjeeling worm snake, or Meszoely's blind snake, is a snake of the family Typhlopidae endemic to Darjeeling in West Bengal. It can be told from other species of the genus in the region by a deep concavity along the rear edge of the nasal shield. It is brown above and lighter brown below, with the two colours merging (Wikipedia, general species account).
It is thought to inhabit temperate broadleaf forests. The area where the specimen was collected was historically montane forest but is now mostly fruit orchards and paddy fields. It lays eggs.
