Comment

Lynch, Yang, and Papenfuss, 1977, Herpetologica, 33: 46-52, removed Pseudoeurycea unguidentis from the synonymy of Pseudoeurycea smithi, where it had been placed by Bogert, 1967, Am. Mus. Novit., 2314: 1-27. Reviewed by Lynch and Wake, 1999, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 688: 1-2. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 208, provided a brief account and map. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 591.
