dorsally, curving backward ventrally and forming a distinct angle mesially except posteriorly; four transverse folds interrupted by vent; tentacle near lip, closer to eye than nostril; and small white asperities on the tail.

In life, the specimen had purplish-blue colouration; a broad, golden yellow lateral stripe, one branch beginning at the middle of the lower jaw and one branch beginning under the eye, terminating at the tail tip; and a cream spot on tentacle and vent.

The specimen was collected during heavy rain at night (1835 hrs.) crawling on leaf litter and bare soil 2 m from a 1 m wide swift, rocky stream.

This is the first report of the Order Gymnophiona from Cambodia.
