Uraeotyphlus gansi

Uraeotyphlus gansi, the Gansi caecilian, is a rare caecilian endemic to the Western Ghats. It was discovered in the Kaakkaachi-Naalumukku area of the Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve (Wikipedia, general species account).

According to the cached account, Albert Rajendran of St. John's College, Palayamkottai, spotted it with his collaborator David J. Gower of the Natural History Museum, London, and two other caecilian experts, during his study of the burrowing shield-tailed snakes of the Western Ghats (Wikipedia, general species account).
