Ichthyophis bombayensis, sometimes called the Bombay caecilian, is a type of caecilian found in India.
This is a rather large species found in Northern Western Ghats. The eyes are distinct and surrounded by a light ring. The tentacle is placed closer to the lip and the eye. A dark brown or greyish brown species with no lateral stripes.
The following three names are presently considered to be junior synonyms of Ichthyophis bombayensis as it was recently shown that all the unstriped long-tailed Ichthyophis from Western Ghats showed little genetic variation.
- Ichthyophis malabarensis Southern Western Ghats. Known with certainty only from the type locality.
- Ichthyophis peninsularis Known only from the type specimen, exact locality not known.
- Ichthyophis subterrestris Known only from type specimen, from Western Ghats south of Palghat gap (Cochin and Travancore areas)
