Skeletal development of the direct-developing caecilian Gegeneophis ramaswamii (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Caeciliidae)

Zoomorphology, 2005
A few previous studies of skeletal and especially skull development in Gymnophiona often provided contradictory results. We studied the development of the skull and vertebral column of Gegeneophis ramaswamii, a direct-developing Indian caeciliid, based on 13 specimens.

Rediscovery of Boulengerula denhardti Nieden 1912 (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Caeciliidae) in Meru County, Kenya

African Zoology, 2012
The dearth of information on caecilian amphibians is most likely due to a lack of directed field studies. Here we report the rediscovery of a population of Boulengerula denhardti nearly a century after its description by Nieden in 1912. Morphological examination of seven specimens suggests that they are closer to the type of B.

The Taxonomic Status of Lutkenotyphlus brasiliensis (Lutken), and Siphonops confusionis Taylor (Gymnophiona: Caeciliidae)

Journal of Herpetology, 1986
Relationships among South American caecilians are poorly understood, and many herpetologists have complained of the difficulty of identifying caecilians from that continent. Siphonops is one of the most commonly encountered South American genera, and confusion exists regarding the relationship of that genus to the Brazilian genus Lutkenotyphlus.

Ontogeny of the skull, lower jaw, and hyobranchial skeleton ofHypogeophis rostratus (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Caeciliidae) revisited

Journal of Morphology, 2006
Few detailed descriptions of the development of the head skeleton in caecilian amphibians are available. One of those is the work of Marcus and students (e.g., Gehwolf [1923] Z Anat Entwick 68:433-454; Marcus [1933] Anat Anz 80:142-146; Marcus et al. [1935] Gegenbaurs Morphol Jb 76:375-420) on the morphology and development of the skull, lower jaw, and

On the Status of Copeotyphlinus syntremus, Gymnopis oligozona, and Minascaecilia sartoria (Gymnophiona, Caeciliidae): A Comedy of Errors

Minascaecilia sartoria Wake and Campbell and G. oligozona are junior synonyms of G. syntrema (Cope). Copeotyphlinus Taylor and Minascaecilia Wake and Campbell are junior synonyms of Gymnopis Peters.
