The pseudo-angular facet would appear to correspond, in position and orientation, with the posterolateral half of the more ex- tensive, U-shaped articular fossa (the pro- cessus condyloides of Nussbaum [1977, fig. 2]) that is characteristic of gymno- phionans (Fig. 29B, C) and is also present in the Early Cretaceous caecilian Rubri- cacaecilia monbaroni (Evans and Sigog- neau-Russell, 2001, fig. 3). However, the posterolateral component of the mandib- ular facet in Recent caecilians is not only more vertically inclined and more laterally placed than the facet in E. micropodia, but faces primarily anteromedially (rather than dorsomedially, as in E. micropodia).
