Caecilia degenerata (common name: Garagoa caecilian) is a species of caecilian in the Caeciliidae family. It is endemic to Colombia and known from the Cordillera Oriental in Boyacá, Santander, and Cundinamarca Departments.[1][2][3] Its natural habitats are montane forests.[1][3] This subterranean species is apparently common in parts of its range. Deforestation might be a threat to it.[1]
