1824 Isis : 670 (listed).
1825 Beitra¨ge: 514.
PRESENT STATUS: The identification of Wied’s specimen is uncertain, but Daudin’s species lombricoidaea (of which lumbricoides and lumbricoidea are emendations) has long been in the synonymy of Caecilia gracilis Shaw, 1802 ( Boulenger, 1882: 95; Taylor, 1968: 385).
REMARKS: Wied listed the name in both the 1824 Isis and in the Beitra¨ge with a question mark, indicating uncertainty of identification. It is not indexed in his 1860 manuscript catalog, and there are no specimens in the collection. He found the animal dead and possibly did not preserve it.
