Ichthyophis kohtaoensis Taylor, 1960
Fig. 9 Koh Tao caecilian
Notes.
Forty individuals were observed near and around marshy habitat, under anthropogenic items near marshy river overflows, and occasionally under rocks in rocky dirt patches near rivers. Most often detected after or during rain, and commonly found in human-settlement areas after digging or gardening.
Distribution.
This caecilian is distributed throughout the island, although it is fossorial and not easily detected. Individuals were detected in two of the eight human-settlement transects, five of the 13 human-disturbed forest transects, and three of the 11 national park forest transects.
