چکیده
|
The world currently recognizes 214 species of caecilians (amphibia: gymnophiona) most of which occur in the wet tropics and some adjacent subtropical regions. of the ten-family classification known, three occur in asia, viz. chikilidae (endemic to northeast india, indotyphlidae (india’s western and eastern ghats) and ichthyophiidae. however, until this report, there were no confirmed reports of any caecilian species from bhutan, although their presence has been assumed likely given their occurrence in adjacent countries. this report provides the first confirmed report of caecilians in bhutan with work to identify the species to be carried on later with further research.
