Cartilage in the cloaca: Phallodeal spicules in Caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnophiona) [PDF]
Journal of Morphology, 1998 The presence of spicules (also termed spines, teeth, or denticles) on the intromittent organ, a character unique to male members of some species in the African caecilian family Scolecomorphidae, has long been known (Noble, '31; Taylor, '68; Wake,'72; Nussbaum,'85). However, their organization and structure has not been examined.

An overview of the postcranial osteology of caecilians (Gymnophiona, Lissamphibia)
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 674-699, March 2026.Abstract Caecilians comprise a relatively small (~220 species) group (Gymnophiona) of snake‐like or worm‐like, mostly tropical amphibians. Most adult caecilians are fossorial, although some species may live in aquatic or semi‐aquatic environments, either as larvae or adults.

The braincase of Eocaecilia micropodia (Lissamphibia, Gymnophiona) and the origin of Caecilians. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The scant fossil record of caecilians has obscured the origin and evolution of this lissamphibian group. Eocaecilia micropodia from the Lower Jurassic of North America remains the only stem-group caecilian with an almost complete skull preserved. However,

Sesamoids in Caudata and Gymnophiona (Lissamphibia): absences and evidence
PeerJ, 2020 An integrative definition of sesamoid bones has been recently proposed, highlighting their relationship with tendons and ligaments, their genetic origin, the influence of epigenetic stimuli on their development, and their variable tissue composition.

Mitochondrial Evidence on the Phylogenetic Position of Caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnophiona) [PDF]
Genetics, 2000 AbstractThe complete nucleotide sequence (17,005 bp) of the mitochondrial genome of the caecilian Typhlonectes natans (Gymnophiona, Amphibia) was determined. This molecule is characterized by two distinctive genomic features: there are seven large 109-bp tandem repeats in the control region, and the sequence for the putative origin of replication of ...
