Abstract
Describes a new snake, Lapparentophis defrennei n.g. n.sp., from continental lower Cretaceous deposits of In Akhamil on the edge of the Tinrhert basin (Algeria) in the Sahara. It resembles Simoliophis, particularly in the anterior thoracic region; however, Simoliophis shows adaptations for swimming that are absent in Lapparentophis. The latter is believed to represent a terrestrial group from which the marine Simoliophis evolved in the Cenomanian.
