It is endemic to Borneo and only known from near its type locality, Mount Dulit in northern Sarawak, Malaysia,[1][ after which it is named. Described by Edward Harrison Taylor in 1960, the holotype was collected by Charles Hose already in 1891.[2] It is a poorly known species with uncertain taxonomic status.[1] Common name Mount Dulit caecilian has been coined for it.[1]]DescriptionIchthyophis dulitensis is a moderately slender caecilian. The holotype measures {{convert|235|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length and about {{convert|8|mm|abbr=on}} in average body width. The head is {{convert|11|mm|abbr=on}} long. The eyes are small with white pupils and black iris. Tail is short, {{convert|5.6|mm|abbr=on}}. The skin has about 313 ring-shaped folds (annuli). The throat has a creamy spot.[2]Habitat and conservationThe holotype was collected from Mount Dulit at {{convert|610|m|abbr=on}} above sea level.[2] It presumably inhabits tropical moist forest. Adults are likely subterranean. The threats to this species are unknown.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite journal | author = IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group | title = Ichthyophis dulitensis | journal = IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume= 2018 | page = | publisher = IUCN | year = 2018 | url = https://www.iucnredlist.org/details/59615/0 | doi = | accessdate = 29 July 2018}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite journal|author=Edward H.
