Material examined. Table 1.
A large caecilian with generally cylindrical body; eye in an open orbit and tentacular aperture below nostril, close to the anterior portion of the face ( Lynch 1999). Caecilia thompsoni is readily distinguished from C. subnigricans (another species known from Magdalena river valley) by having a longer body (up to 1.5 m in C. thompsoni ; 0.35–0.37 m in C. subnigricans ) and more primary (187–240 in C. thompsoni ; 145–169 in C. subnigricans ) and secondary annuli (26–30 in C. thompsoni ; 6–27 in C. subnigricans )
