| family: Grandisoniidae
genus: Gegeneophis
|
|
Species Description: Bhatta G and Srinivasa R. 2004. A new species of Gegeneophis Peters (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Caeciliidae) from the surrounds of Mookambika Wildlife Sanctuary, Karnataka, India. Zootaxa 644: 1–8. |
Etymology: Gegeneophis madhavai was named in reference to Madhava Bhat, Madhavarao Bhide, Madhava Anantha Pai and Madhava Gadgil for their support to the first author of the original paper describing this species. A subsequent paper (Das 2006) emended the name to Gegeneophis madhavaorum since the name was given in honor of multiple workers, but that emendation has not been followed by most caecilian researchers. |
