''Quasicaecilia'' is an extinct genus of microsaur. It is known from the Early Permian of Texas in the United States. A single specimen is known, collected from the Texas Permian redbeds by Charles Hazelius Sternberg in 1917. It was originally identified as a specimen of the gymnarthrid microsaur ''Cardiocephalus''. The skull is small, less than in length, and the otic capsule (a hollow region of bone encapsulating the inner ear) is very large in comparison to the rest of the skull. The skull of ''Quasicaecilia'' superficially resembles those of extant but unrelated caecilians, hence the genus name. ''Quasicaecilia'' was assigned to the new family Brachystelechidae in 1991 along with the genera ''Batropetes'' and ''Carrolla''. ==See also==
