The St. Thomas beaked snake (Letheobia feae) is a species of snake in the family Typhlopidae. The species is native to the Gulf of Guinea off the western coast of Central Africa.

Etymology

The specific name, feae, is in honor of Leonardo Fea, who was an Italian explorer and naturalist.

L. feae is found on the island of São Tomé in the nation of São Tomé and Príncipe.

The preferred natural habitat of L. feae is forest, at altitudes of 200–300 m (660–980 ft), but it has also been found in agricultural areas.

L. feae is oviparous.
