Ichthyophis garoensis, the Garo Hills caecilian or Garo Hills striped caecilian, is a species of caecilian found in Assam[2] and Meghalaya in north-eastern India as well as in Bangladesh.[1][2] The Husain's caecilian Ichthyophis husaini was until 2016 considered a separate species.[1][2][3] It is a subterranean caecilian that lives in the moist leaf-litter of tropical forests at elevations of 410–530 m (1,350–1,740 ft) above sea level. It is typically found close to streams and other waterbodies.[1]
