I address some taxonomic issues created by previous perceptions of species' boundaries in Amphisbaena from southern South America, including specimens with intermediate characteristics. In this note I propose the synonymization of Amphisbaena trachura and Amphisbaena heterozonata into Amphisbaena darwini, and the maintenance of the current species Amphisbaena angustifrons and Amphisbaena plumbea.
