Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Plethodon glutinosus by Highton in Highton, Maha, and Maxson, 1989, Illinois Biol. Monogr., 57: 69. In the Plethodon glutinosus group. Data presented by Carr, 1996, Herpetologica, 52: 56-65, suggest that this species is a composite. Petranka, 1998, Salamand. U.S. Canada: 355, rejected the distinction from Plethodon glutinosus on the basis of overall similarity.
