This is a well-written and fully-cited article with an appropriate structure, so there is rather little that needs to be said about it.
"preoccupied", hm, yes, I guess so, but why not just say "was already in use"? (I think "preoccupied" is at least half-redundant with the existing "already", too.)
Done.
I appreciate that it's hard to get images of these secretive snakes, but It's not ideal using the same image in the lead and in the table, specially below a blank space for one of the other species. It might be better to remove the image column altogether, and move the remaining image of A. weberi to the top of the "Description" section.
I'm currently trying to get a photo of leonardi from iNaturalist, if it takes more than a week or so I'll remove the section.
The discussion of relatives and clades would be much better with the support of a cladogram. I see there is one in [11], from which only a small part needs to be taken for this article's purposes.
Added a cladogram.
Thanks. I think you could root it in the
Alethinophidia?
I'm not sure; it only depicts part of the family, so wouldn't that be a little misleading?
OK, I guess you could say "Part of ...", or else label the root and add another branch for "other families" to indicate incompleteness (I think I'd do the latter) so at least we have a root. No worries.
"diet consists of elongate invertebrates like earthworms and perhaps on small, slim vertebrates " --- the "on" should be "also of".
Done.
"give birth to live young": please wikilink to
Viviparity.
Done.

... that depending on who you ask, an anomochilid could be a dwarf or a giant? Source: O'Shea, Mark (2023). Snakes of the World: A Guide to Every Family. Princeton: Princeton University Press. Das, Indraneil (2010). Field Guide to the Reptiles of South-East Asia. London: New Holland Publishers.
Overall: Good article, passes earwig, and is adequately sourced. No close paraphrasing was found, and the hook is very interesting, cited inline, and verified. QPQ done. Nom good to go.
