In Sri Lanka, three species occur, and all are found in almost all habitats, preferring moister ones. The most widespread species, Ichthyophis glutinosus, inhabits various altitudes across its range. In similar environments, I. orthoplicatus is also found, although it does not occur in lowland areas below 460 metres (1,510 ft) above sea level. Conversely, I. pseudangularis is typically found in lowland regions below 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) ASL. Additionally, a newly identified species, Ichthyophis multicolor, has been recently documented.
