  Caeciliidae (Gray, 1825)
Caeciliidae is the largest, and most diverse caecilian family.
Members of this family are found in Africa, as well as the neo-tropics, and are characterized by the absence of a tail, and inferior mouth, and the presence of dermal scales (in some species).
Members of Caeciliidae are fossorial, and display both oviparity and viviparity.

They mostly live hidden in the ground which makes them the least explored order of amphibians, and widely unknown.
Large Caecilians dubbed "ingots" plagued the French occupation of Indochina in the years before the Vietnam war.

 The Amphibians of Honduras
It will be a reminder of the potential loss of biodiversity in a country in which deforestation and loss of habitat have greatly accelerated over the last decade.
The Honduran amphibian fauna consists of 116 species of caecilians (2 species), salamanders (25), and frogs (89), including members of nine families: Caeciliidae (2), Plethodontidae (25), Bufonidae (8), Centrolenidae (8), Hylidae (31), Leptodactylidae (33), Microhylidae (3), Ranidae (5), and Rhinophrynidae (1).
The book has extensively illustrated identification keys, a discussion of reproductive modes and ecomorphological guilds, distribution, and essays about the human impact on, and future of, the Honduran amphibian fauna.
