Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Pseudoeurycea sulcata (= Pseudoeurycea cephalica) by Bogert, 1967, Am. Mus. Novit., 2314: 3-5, where it had been placed by Brame, 1963 "1962", Herpetologica, 18: 241-245. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 211-212, provided a brief account, photograph, and map, and considered it in the Pseudoeurycea gadovii group. 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: 587.
