“…Caecilians are known to have parental care. Yet, the biology of female reproduction of caecilians has been studied for only a few species due to several reasons (Wake, 1968, 1970a, b, 1972, 1977, 1980; Exbrayat & Collenot, 1983; Exbrayat & Laurent, 1983; Exbrayat, 1986; Berois & de Sa, 1988; Masood-Parveez & Nadkarni, 1993a, b; Anjubault & Exbrayat, 2004). Detailed morphological and anatomical descriptions of caecilian ovary and oogenesis are limited to three species, Chthonerpeton indistinctum (Berois & de Sa, 1988), Typhlonectes compressicuda (Exbrayat & Collenot, 1983; Exbrayat & Laurent, 1983; Exbrayat, 1986; Anjubault & Exbrayat, 2004) and Ichthyophis beddomei (Masood–Parveez & Nadkarni, 1993a, b).…”
