Gymnophiona

Ichthyophis nguyenorum is a newly discovered species in the order Gymnophiona.

Chikila is a genus of amphibian in the order Gymnophiona (caecilians).

The tentacular opening has a greater posterior distance from the nostril then that of other known Gymnophiona and is much closer to the mouth.

The holonephros is the kidney of the larvae of cyclostomes and the Gymnophiona.

The order Gymnophiona includes the caecilians.

The Caecilians are an order (Gymnophiona or Apoda) of amphibians.

Some species of Gymnophiona (caecilians, with long, cylindrical, limbless bodies) brood their eggs.

There has historically been disagreement over the use of the two primary scientific names for caecilians, Apoda and Gymnophiona.

Hence, salamanders differ from the limbless, tropical caecilians of the amphibian order Gymnophiona.

The latter view considers Caudata and Gymnophiona to be more closely related to amniotes (reptiles, mammals and birds) than to Anura.

Gymnophiona is a group of amphibians which includes the legless caecilians and all amphibians more closely related to them than to frogs or salamanders (the "stem-caecilians").

Typhlonectidae, also known as aquatic caecilians or rubber eels, are a family of Gymnophiona amphibians found east of the Andes in South America.

Some specialists prefer to use the name Gymnophiona to refer to the "crown group", that is, the group containing all modern caecilians and extinct members of these modern lineages.

All modern caecilians and their closest fossil relatives are grouped as a clade, Apoda, within the larger group Gymnophiona, which also includes more primitive extinct caecilian-like amphibians.

The order Gymnophiona (from the Greek gymnos meaning "naked" and ophis meaning "serpent") or Apoda (from the Latin an- meaning "without" and the Greek poda meaning "legs") comprises the caecilians.
