Bombay caecilian

The Bombay caecilian (Ichthyophis bombayensis) is an amphibian found in India.

[1] This rather large species is found in the northern Western Ghats.

The eyes are distinct and surrounded by a light ring.

A dark brown or greyish-brown species, it has no lateral stripes.

[2] The three names below are presently considered to be junior synonyms of I. bombayensis,[1] as it was recently shown that all the unstriped, long-tailed Ichthyophis from the Western Ghats showed little genetic variation.
