Ichthyophis is a genus ofcaecilians (limbless amphibians, sometimes called theAsian caecilians) found inSoutheast Asia, the southernPhilippines, and the western Indo-Australian Archipelago.
In Sri Lanka, three species occur. All are found in almost all habitats, but are known to prefer moist ones. The most common isIchthyophis glutinosus, which is found in almost all altitudes; the others areI. orthoplicatus, which is found in similar habitat toI. glutinosus, but will not be found in lowlands below 460 metres (1,510 ft) above sea level; andI. pseudangularis, found in lowlands below 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) ASL. A new species was recently discovered calledIchthyophis multicolor.
