Comment

See account by Sever, 1999, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 685: 1-4. Petranka, 1998, Salamand. U.S. Canada: 241-242, continued the recognition of this lineage as a subspecies of Eurycea bislineata on the basis of application of a reproductive species defintion and assertion of insufficient verification of its status. See comments under Eurycea bislineata and Eurycea cirrigera. Kozak, Blaine, and Larson, 2006, Mol. Ecol., 15: 191-207, presented mtDNA evidence of multiple species existing under this name. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 186, provided a brief account, photograph, and map.
