Common name Mertens' caecilian has been coined for this species.[3] DescriptionThe holotype is unsexed and measures {{convert|495|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} in total length. The body is {{convert|12.5|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} wide. The head is slightly tapering, and the snout is projecting. The eyes are very small but visible externally. There are 142 mostly incomplete primary folds and 48 secondary folds. The body is partly covered by scales. Coloration is light brown, turning into grayish brown laterally. The head is grayish.[2] Habitat and conservationThere is no habitat data for the type series.[1] The Mato Grosso records are from the Amazon biome or from its transition zone with the Cerrado. Most of the records are from areas affected by hydropower development.[9] In 2004 it was assessed as "data deficient" for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite journal |last1=Faria |first1=H.
