The Ichthyophiidae are the family of Asiatic tailed caecilians or fish caecilians found in South and Southeast Asia as well as southernmost China. They are primitive caecilians, lacking many of the derived characters found in the other families. For example, their mouths are not recessed underneath their heads, they possess tails, and they have numerous scales on their bodies. However, they have two sets of muscles for closing the jaw, a feature unique to caecilians, but absent in the related family Rhinatrematidae. They lay their eggs in cavities in moist soil, where they hatch into larvae that seek out streams or underground seepages, before metamorphosing into adults. Some evidence indicates the females may protect their eggs until they hatch.〔 ==Taxonomy== Family Ichthyophiidae * Genus ''Caudacaecilia'' (possibly a synonym of ''Ichthyophis''〔) * *''C. asplenia'' - broad-striped caecilian * *''C. larutensis'' - Larut Hills caecilian * *''C. nigroflava'' - Kuala Lumpur caecilian * *''C. paucidentula'' - Kapahiang caecilian * *''C. weberi'' - Malatgan River caecilian * Genus ''Ichthyophis'' * *''I. acuminatus'' - pointed-headed caecilian * *''I. atricollaris'' - Long Bloee caecilian * *''I. bannanicus'' - Banna caecilian * *''I. beddomei'' - yellow-striped caecilian * *''I. bernisi'' - Indonesian caecilian * *''I. biangularis'' - angular caecilian * *''I. billitonensis'' - Billiton Island caecilian * *''I. daribokensis'' - Daribok's striped caecilian * *''I. bombayensis'' - Bombay caecilian * *''I. davidi'' - Chorla giant striped caecilian * *''I. dulitensis'' - Mount Dulit caecilian * *''I. elongatus'' - elongated caecilian * *''I. garoensis'' - Garo Hills caecilian * *''I. glandulosus'' - Basilan Island caecilian * *''I. glutinosus'' - Ceylon caecilian * *''I. humphreyi'' - Humphrey's caecilian * *''I. husaini'' - Husain's caecilian * *''I. hypocyaneus'' - Bantam caecilian * *''I. javanicus'' - Javan caecilian * *''I. khumhzi'' - Khumhzi striped caecilian * *''I. kodaguensis'' - Kodagu striped caecilian * *''I. kohtaoensis'' - Koa Tao Island caecilian * *''I. laosensis'' - Upper Laos caecilian * *''I. longicephalus'' - long-headed caecilian * *''I. malabarensis'' - Malabar caecilian * *''I. mindanaoensis'' - Mindanao Island caecilian * *''I. monochrous'' - Western Borneo caecilian * *''I. moustakius'' - Manipur moustached caecilian * *''I. orthoplicatus'' - Pattipola caecilian * *''I. paucisulcus'' - Siantar caecilian * *''Ichthyophis peninsularis'' * *''Ichthyophis pseudangularis'' - Taylor's caecilian * *''I. sendenyu'' - Sendenyu striped caecilian * *''I. sikkimensis'' - Sikkimese caecilian * *''I. singaporensis'' - Singapore caecilian * *''I. subterrestris'' * *''I. sumatranus'' - Sumatran caecilian * *''I. supachaii'' - Supachai's caecilian * *''I. tricolor'' - three-colored caecilian * *''I. youngorum'' - Doi Suthep caecilian * Genus ''Uraeotyphlus'' * *''U. gansi'' - Gansi caecilian * *''U. interruptus'' - Kerala caecilian * *''U. malabaricus'' - Malabar tailed caecilian * *''U. menoni'' - Menon's caecilian * *''U. narayani'' - Narayan's caecilian * *''U. oommeni'' - Bonnacord caecilian * *''U. oxyurus'' - red caecilian 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ichthyophiidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
