The Billiton Island caecilian, Ichthyophis billitonensis, is a species of amphibians in the family Ichthyophiidae endemic to the Belitung island, Indonesia.[3] Known only from the holotype,[1] this appears to be a small species, measuring 135 mm (5.3 in) in total length.[2] Habitat requirements are unknown but it probably inhabits moist lowland forests. It may be threatened by habitat loss caused by opencast tin mining.[1]
