According to Roux-Esteve (1974), Rhinotyphlops graueri is distributed in central tropical Africa below the equator around Lake Tanganyika in the Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaire), Burundi and Tanzania. The northernmost record (RGMC 21495 -496), was collected near Rumonge in Burundi, identified by Roux-Esteve (1974) out of 14 examined Rhinotyphlops specimens. Further known records come from Burundi (two specimens from one locality), Tanzania (six specimens from two close localities) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (six specimens from four localities) - for details see appendix. The localities in Burundi and Tanzania are located within the remaining rainforest close to the Lake Tanganyika shore.
