Epicrionops marmoratus, the marbled caecilian, is a species of caecilian in the family Rhinatrematidae. It is endemic to Ecuador and only known from its type locality, Santo Domingo de los Colorados, and from near Mindo in the Pichincha Province in north-western Ecuador.[1][2][3] It is a poorly known species[1] that might be a junior synonym of Epicrionops bicolor.[3]
