The Nadkarnii caecilian, Gegeneophis nadkarnii, is a species of caecilian found in India.[2] It is described on the basis of specimens collected from Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary, Goa, India. It is differentiated from all Gegeneophis species, except G. danieli, in having many secondary annuli that begin on the anterior of the body. G. nadkarnii differs from G. danieli in having substantially fewer teeth.
