X-ray showing the skeleton of Typhlonectes (Typhlonectidae). Caecilians' anatomy is highly adapted for a burrowing lifestyle. In a couple of species belonging to the primitive genus Ichthyophis vestigial traces of limbs have been found, and in Typhlonectes compressicauda the presence of limb buds has been observed during embryonic development, remnants in an otherwise completely limbless body.

By the same methods, it was possible to certify the speciation of Caecilia pulchraserrana, considering that genetically the closest species, C. volcani, has only 58% compatibility with it, and because it has a combination of features that differs from the others, such as the arrangement of 100 to 104 incomplete rings on the back, not being ...
