Comment

Reviewed by Ireland, 1979, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 221: 1-4, as Eurycea longicauda guttolineata, who noted that some authors (e.g., Martof, Palmer, Bailey, and Harrison, 1980, Amph. Rept. Carolinas Virginia: 76) thought that Eurycea longicauda guttolineata may be a distinct species. Considered a distinct species by Carlin, 1997, Herpetologica, 53: 206-217. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 187-188, provided a brief account, photograph, and map.
