Crotaphatrema lamottei, the Mount Oku caecilian or Lamotte's caecilian, is a species of caecilian in the family Scolecomorphidae. It is endemic to Mount Oku in Cameroon.[1][2][4] The specific name lamottei honours Maxime Lamotte [fr], French biologist.[3][5] There is some doubt whether Crotaphatrema tchabalmbaboensis really is distinct from this species.[1][2][4]
