Title: | A new species of striped 'Ichthyophis' Fitzinger, 1826 (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Ichthyophiidae) from Myanmar | Contributor(s): | Wilkinson, Mark (author); Presswell, Bronwen (author); Sherratt, Emma (author); Papadopoulou, Anna (author); Gower, David J (author) | Publication Date: | 2014 | Open Access: | Yes | DOI: | 10.11646/zootaxa.3785.1.4 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/17801 | Abstract: | A new species of striped ichthyophiid caecilian, 'Ichthyophis multicolor' sp. nov., is described on the basis of morphological and molecular data from a sample of 14 specimens from Ayeyarwady Region, Myanmar. The new species resembles superficially the Indian 'I. tricolor' Annandale, 1909 in having both a pale lateral stripe and an adjacent dark ventrolateral stripe contrasting with a paler venter. It differs from 'I. tricolor' in having many more annuli, and in many details of cranial osteology, and molecular data indicate that it is more closely related to other Southeast Asian 'Ichthyophis' than to those of South Asia. The caecilian fauna of Myanmar is exceptionally poorly known but is likely to include chikilids as well as multiple species of 'Ichthyophis'. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Zootaxa, 3785(1), p. 45-58 | Publisher: | Magnolia Press | Place of Publication: | New Zealand | ISSN: | 1175-5334 1175-5326 |
