Fuller's caecilian (also Kuttal caecilian), Chikila fulleri, is a species of caecilian endemic to India; the type specimen was collected six miles southwest of Silchar in Cachar, Assam, at an altitude of about 100 m above sea level. In 2012 it was reassigned to a newly erected family, Chikilidae. It is known only from northeast India (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, and Tripura), although it is expected to be found also in nearby Bangladesh and Myanmar.
