Ichthyophis khumhzi

Ichthyophis khumhzi, the Khumhzi striped ichthyophis, has been observed only at its type locality, near the river Agoh in Manipur and Nagaland. It can reach lengths of over 400 mm, with a short head about 25.6 mm long (Wikipedia, general species account).

It has narrow, irregular lateral yellow stripes. The head is short and V-shaped, scales are present as far forward as the collars, and the tail is not upturned towards the tip. Preserved, it is a pale lavender grey with browner patches where the outer skin layer is absent (Wikipedia, general species account).
