Almost all are completely limbless, except the three species of the Mexican genus Bipes, which have small, well-developed forelimbs. After being all but ignored in the literature on mammal origins for several decades, an impressive list of unassailable genetic papers (Koch & Wyman 2007 and references therein) have now shown that mammals are actually nested within the amphisbaenian radiation (Koch & Wyman 2007 and references therein).

Amazing the bits of evidence that fit in when you think about it! Among mammals, an incredible plethora of tunnel-excavating habits continue to be practised even by more recently evolved lineages, and are manifested by such activities as trench warfare, the Channel Tunnel, the London underground, the salt-mining culture of the elephants of Mount Elgon, the propensity for humans to dig tunnels on sandy beaches, and that dude who lived in a hole for years.

Initially this might sound remarkable but, after thinking about it a bit, a number of workers have reassessed some of the older literature - much of which shows that the character evidence linking mammals to amphisbaenians is compelling, well documented, well established, meticulously detailed, and deserving of other such terms (Koch & Wyman 2007 and references therein).

Dinovermis is of course not called the death-worm for nothing: it is venomous, and here we find the key synapomorphy linking this animal with mammals: not only are living primitive mammals - like monotremes, shrews and solenodons - venomous, we now know that venomosity was widespread in early mammals (Hurum et al. amphisbaena. Surely you can't explain their vermiformosity, tunneling behavior, loose skin, and so on, as simple convergence? That's the problem with pretty women, they always have to be in the center of the spotlight ... ).
