Comment

See accounts by Martof, 1968, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 57: 1-2, and Petranka, 1998, Salamand. U.S. Canada: 50 (both including Ambystoma bishopi as conspecific). Pauly, Piskurek, and Shaffer, 2007, Mol. Ecol., 16: 415-429, provided evidence that Ambystoma cingulatum and Ambystoma bishopi are different species. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 544 (although including Ambystoma bishopi as conspecific) .
