Editing Mexican blind lizard (section)

==Distribution==
''Anelytropsis papillosus'' is [[endemic]] to [[Mexico]]. It is known from northeastern regions of the country at elevations from 300 to 2300 meters, including southern [[Tamaulipas]], eastern [[San Luis Potosí]], northern [[Hidalgo (state)|Hidalgo]] and [[Querétaro]], northern and central [[Veracruz]], and extreme northern [[Oaxaca]]. Considering the fact that several confirmed localities are extremely close to state boundaries, its rarity, and its fossorial and secretive behavior, some authors have speculated it should be anticipated in areas west of the confirmed distribution, specifically southern [[Nuevo Leon]], extreme eastern [[Guanajuato]], and eastern [[Puebla]].<ref name="Campbell (1974)" /><ref name="Valdez-Villavicencio et al.
