Eocaecilia is an extinct genus of gymnophionan amphibian from the early Jurassic Kayenta Formation of Arizona, United States.
Eocaecilia shared some characteristics with salamanders and the now extinct microsaur amphibians.
Unlike modern caecilians, which are legless, Eocaecilia possessed small legs, and while modern caecilians have poorly developed eyes and spend a lot of time under ground, Eocaecilia's eyes were somewhat better developed.
Although the precise ancestry of Eocaecilia is debated (and other caecilians by extension), it likely resided among the ancestral lepospondyl[1][2][3] or temnospondyl[4][5] amphibians of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic.
