Abstrakt: Siphonops annulatus (Mikan, 1822) is a neotropical caecilian widely distributed in the Amazon and Atlantic Forests. It is among the best studied caecilians in the Neotropical region, but many aspects of its natural history remain poorly known. Here we report an exceptionally large individual of S. annulatus from Rondonia, Brazil. At 720 mm total length, this specimen is much larger than the previously largest reported for the species at 539 mm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
