Geotrypetes grandisonae Taylor, 1970[3] Sylvacaecilia is a monotypic genus of caecilian in the family Grandisoniidae.

[3] Because of significant differences in morphology and life history in comparison to other Geotrypetes species, it was moved to its own, monotypic genus Sylvacaecilia by Marvalee Wake in 1987.

[2] The specific name grandisonae honours Miss Alice G. C. Grandison, a Curator of Herpetology at Natural History Museum, London[7] and whom Taylor acknowledges as having been "helpful in providing these specimens for study".

[3] Sylvacaecilia grandisonae was described based on two specimens, the female holotype measuring 259 mm (10.2 in) in total length, and the male paratype measuring 231 mm (9.1 in) in total length.

[2] Its natural habitats are tropical deciduous forests at elevations of 1,500–2,200 m (4,900–7,200 ft) above sea level.
