ضفدع ثعباني (إنگليزية: caecilians، /siːˈsɪliənz/) هي رتبة Gymnophiona من البرمائيات التي تشبه ظاهرياً ديدان الأرض أو الثعابين. ويعيشوا في الغالب مختفين في الأرض، مما يجعلهم أكثر البرمائيات غموضاً. كل الضفادع الثعبانية المتواجدة وأقرب أقربائهم أحفورياً يجتمعون في clade Apoda. وينتشرون في الغالب في مداريات أمريكا الجنوبية وأفريقيا وجنوب آسيا. وجبة الضفدع الثعباني غير معروفة على وجه الدقة.

التصنيف العلمي
The most recent classification of caecilians divides the Gymnophiona into 9 families.[2] This classification is based on a thorough definition of monophyla based on the most recent morphological and molecular evidence, and it solves the longstanding problems of paraphyly of the Caeciliidae in previous classifications without an exclusive reliance upon synonymy.[3]

التطور
Little is known of the evolutionary history of the caecilians, which have left a sparse fossil record. The first fossil, a vertebra dated to the Paleocene, was not discovered until 1972.[4] The putative earliest fossil known comes from the Jurassic period; its primitive genus, Eocaecilia, had small limbs and well-developed eyes.[5] In their 2008 description of the fossil batrachian Gerobatrachus[6] Anderson and co-authors suggested that caecilians arose from the Lepospondyl group of ancestral tetrapods, and may be more closely related to amniotes than to frogs and salamanders, which arose from Temnospondyl ancestors. Divergent origins of caecilians and other living amphibians may help explain the slight discrepancy between fossil dates for the origins of modern amphibia, which suggest Permian origins, and the earlier dates, in the Carboniferous, predicted by molecular clock studies of DNA sequences. Most morphological and molecular studies of living amphibians, however, support monophyly for caecilians, frogs, and salamanders, and the most recent molecular study based on multi-locus data suggest a Late Carboniferous–Early Permian origin of living amphibians.[7]
