Ichthyophis elongatus, the elongated caecilian, is a species of amphibians in the family Ichthyophiidae endemic to Sumatra,[3] including some nearby islands; however, whether these belong to this species is uncertain.[1]
Specimens allocated to this species with certainty have been collected from lowland forest and from a ravine near degraded forest.[1]
The type series varied 280–300 mm (11–12 in) in total length. It is relatively slim, with body width of 7.8–8 mm (0.31–0.31 in).[2]
