Comment

See account by Brandon, 1967, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 31: 1-2, as Gyrinophilus palleucus gulolineatus. Subspecies status continued by Petranka, 1998, Salamand. U.S. Canada: 280, without discussion, presumably on the basis of overall similarity. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 178, provided a brief account, photograph, and map. 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: 575. Reviewed by Niemiller and Miller, 2010, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 862: 1-4. Niemiller, Fitzpatrick, and Miller, 2008, Mol. Ecol., 17: 2258-2275, reported on genic variation.
