Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

Chthonerpeton perissodus is a species of caecilian in the family Typhlonectidae. It is endemic to Minas Gerais, Brazil, and only known from its imprecise type locality, Rio Pandeiro.[1][2] Only three specimens are known.[1] The common name Minas Gerais caecilian has been coined for this species.[1][2]

Description

The type series consists of three specimens. The holotype is an adult male measuring Шаблон:Convert in total length. One paratype is a female, either maturing or mature, measuring Шаблон:Convert, whereas the other one is poorly preserved and of unknown sex, measuring about Шаблон:Convert. The body is dorsoventrally flattened and Шаблон:Convert wide. There are 95–101 primary annuli (segments). The head is bluntly rounded. The eyes are dorsolaterally oriented and covered by epidermis. The coloration is relatively uniform, slate gray dorsally and slightly lighter ventrally. There are numerous whitish skin glands present throughout the body. The specific name perissodus refers to the high number of premaxillary-maxillary teeth compared to other Chthonerpeton and is derived from Greek Шаблон:Lang (=more than the usual number of) and Шаблон:Lang (=tooth).[3]

Habitat and conservation

The type locality of this species is imprecise, and there is no information on its habitat. Presumably, it is an aquatic species that reproduces through viviparity. Population status and threats it are unknown.[1]
