The Siphonopidae are the family of common caecilians. They are found in Central and South America. Like other caecilians, they superficially resemble worms or snakes. They are the sister group to Dermophiidae, also of South America. Siphonopids are oviparous caecilians, meaning they lay eggs. They have imperforated stapes and no inner mandibular teeth. Like species of some other caecilian families, their skulls have relatively few bones, with those present being fused to form a solid ram to aid in burrowing through the soil. The mouth is recessed beneath the snout, and there is no tail. == Species == *Genus ''Brasilotyphlus'' – Brazilian caecilians * *''Brasilotyphlus braziliensis'' * *''Brasilotyphlus guarantanus'' *Genus ''Caecilita'' * * ''Caecilita iwokramae'' *Genus ''Luetkenotyphlus'' – São Paulo caecilian * *''Luetkenotyphlus brasiliensis'' *Genus ''Microcaecilia'' – tiny caecilians * *''Microcaecilia albiceps'' * *''Microcaecilia dermatophaga'' * *''Microcaecilia grandis'' * *''Microcaecilia rabei'' * *''Microcaecilia supernumeraria'' * *''Microcaecilia taylori'' * *''Microcaecilia unicolor'' *Genus ''Mimosiphonops'' – worm-patterned caecilians * *''Mimosiphonops reinhardti'' * *''Mimosiphonops vermiculatus'' *Genus ''Parvicaecilia'' – Columbian caecilians * *''Parvicaecilia nicefori'' * *''Parvicaecilia pricei'' *Genus ''Praslinia'' – Cooper's caecilian * *''Praslinia cooperi'' *Genus ''Siphonops'' – ringed caecilians * *''Siphonops annulatus'' * *''Siphonops hardyi'' * *''Siphonops insulanus'' * *''Siphonops leucoderus'' * *''Siphonops paulensis'' 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「Siphonopidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
