Comment

Reviewed by Wake, 1965, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 16: 1-2. Petranka, 1998, Salamand. U.S. Canada: 315, cited literature (including Sessions and Kezer, 1987, Chromosoma, Berlin, 95: 17-30) suggesting the existence of sibling species under this binominal. Wake and Jackman, 1999 "1998", Canad. J. Zool., 76: 1570-1580, subsequently recognized Aneides vagrans. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 637.
