Uraeotyphlus interruptus

Uraeotyphlus interruptus, the Chengalam caecilian, is endemic to the Western Ghats and known only from its type locality, Chengalam village in Kerala. It is a medium-sized caecilian, measuring 185 mm, with 162 body folds. The primary annuli cross the back only on the rear half and the underside only in front of the vent (Wikipedia, general species account).

The collar region is slightly wider than the head, with the two collars fused on top but distinct underneath. The eyes are distinct and the ventral tentacle lies below the nostril. It is slaty violet above and slightly lighter below, and the body folds are marked by white lines, most conspicuous on the rear third of the underside (Wikipedia, general species account).
