Abstract

We describe a new species of the genus Caecilia from French Guiana. The new species differs from most species of the genus in the numbers of primary and secondary grooves. Color pattern, body shape, presence of subdermal scales, and number of teeth separate Caecilia museugoeldi sp. nov. from the other species of the genus. This new taxon is the first of the genus described in 33 years.
