Ichthyophis
Ichthyophis is a genus of caecilians found in Southeast Asia, the southern Philippines, and the western Indo-Australian Archipelago.
In Sri Lanka, three species occur, and all are found in almost all habitats, preferring moister ones. The most common is Ichthyophis glutinosus, which is found in almost all altitudes; the others are I. orthoplicatus, which is found in similar habitat to I. glutinosus, but is never found in lowlands below above sea level; and I. pseudangularis, found in lowlands below ASL. A new species was recently discovered called Ichthyophis multicolor.Species
