Caecilia Nigricans
''Caecilia nigricans'', commonly known as the Rio Lita caecilian, is a species of amphibian in the family Caeciliidae. It is a subterranean fauna, subterranean species located in Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama. Its natural habitats include moist, subtropical or tropical lowland forests, plantations, rural gardens, and foothill forests. The species is of least concern, as it can be found in several protected areas in Colombia like Darién National Park, however it is still threatened by human activities like deforestation.

Caecilia Mertensi
''Caecilia mertensi'' is a species of caecilian in the family Caeciliidae from South America. The type locality is imprecise: the holotype was purportedly collected in "Seychelle Isle", but most likely originates from South America. However, more recently, several specimens have been collected from Mato Grosso, Brazil. The specific name ''mertensi'' honors Robert Mertens, a German zoologist and herpetologist. Common name Mertens' caecilian has been coined for this species. Description The holotype is unsexed and measures in total length. The body is wide. The head is slightly tapering, and the snout is projecting. The eyes are very small but visible externally. There are 142 mostly incomplete primary folds and 48 secondary folds. The body is partly covered by scales. Coloration is light brown, turning into grayish brown laterally. The head is grayish. Habitat and conservation There is no habitat data for the type series. The Mato Grosso records are from the Amazon biome or fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caecilia Marcusi
''Caecilia marcusi'' is a species of caecilian in the family Caeciliidae. It is found in the southwestern Amazon Basin in Bolivia and Brazil; its range is likely to extend into Peru. ''Caecilia marcusi'' is similar to ''Caecilia mertensi'' and could be its synonym. ''Caecilia marcusi'' is a subterranean species inhabiting lowland tropical rainforest at elevations below . It is locally threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species. The organisms once living there have either moved elsewhere, or are dead, leading to a decrease ....

Caecilia Inca
''Caecilia inca'' is a species of caecilian in the family Caeciliidae. It is endemic to Peru and only known from the holotype collected in 1944 from "Fundo Sinchona" in the Loreto Region. There are doubts regarding taxonomic validity of this species. Common name Fundo Sinchona caecilian has been coined for it.
