}}Oscaecilia is a genus of caecilians in the family Caeciliidae.[1][[3] The genus is distributed in southeastern Central America (Costa Rica, Panama) and northern South America, possibly extending into southern Brazil. They are sometimes known as the South American caecilians.[1]]DescriptionAdult Oscaecilia often exceed {{convert|60|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} in total length.[3] The diagnostic characters of Oscaecilia include eyes that are covered by bone, presence of splenial teeth, absence of true tail, and a tentacular opening that is directly below the nostril, much closer to it than to the eye.[6] Species There are nine recognized species:[1] | Binomial name and author | Common name |
