Oedipina

Oedipina or worm salamanders is a genus in the Plethodontidae family of salamanders, which is characterized by their absence of lungs; they instead achieve respiration through their skin and the tissues lining their mouth. They are endemic to Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Mexico. The common name derives from their extraordinarily slender form with tiny limbs and digits.
