Bolitoglossa Obscura
''Bolitoglossa'' is a genus of lungless salamanders, also called mushroom-tongued salamanders, tropical climbing salamanders, or web-footed salamanders, in the family Plethodontidae. Their range is between northern Mexico through Central America to Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, northeastern Brazil, and central Bolivia. Neotropical salamanders of the ''Bolitoglossa'' make up the largest genus in the order Caudata, consisting of approximately one-fifth of all known species of salamanders. Adult salamanders range anywhere from 45mm to 200mm in length depending on their specific species. They are notorious for their ability to project their tongue at prey items, as indicated from their name. They are also known for their webbed feet, having significantly more webbing than any other species outside their genus with the exception of the cave-dwelling Mexican bolitoglossine ''Chiropterotriton magnipes''. Although webbed feet are a common characteristic of these salamanders, only ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nototriton Costaricense
''Nototriton'', commonly referred to as moss salamanders is a genus in the salamander family Plethodontidae, which is characterized by their absence of lungs; they instead achieve respiration through their skin and the tissues lining their mouth. They range from Central Costa Rica to north-central and western Honduras reaching also to eastern Guatemala. Species The genus contains the following 20 species: References External links * . 2007.

Eurycea Troglodytes
The Valdina Farms salamander (''Eurycea troglodytes'') is a species of aquatic salamander described from Valdina Farms Sinkhole in Medina County, Texas, United States. It is sometimes referred to as the Valdina blind salamander or sinkhole salamander. As some other species of '' Eurycea'' found in Texas, it was once classified as a subspecies of the Texas salamander, ''Eurycea neotenes'', and believed to possibly be the result of hybridization Hybridization (or hybridisation) may refer to: *Hybridization (biology), the process of combining different varieties of organisms to create a hybrid *Orbital hybridization, in chemistry, the mixing of atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals *Nu ... with another species of subterranean salamander, but was granted full species status in 2000. Research is ongoing, and some sources suggest the current species may actually be multiple distinct species. Description The Valdina Farms salamander grows from in length, with short legs, redu ...

Eurycea Robusta
The Blanco blind salamander (''Eurycea robusta'') is a species of aquatic, lungless salamander native to the United States. It is endemic to a small region of the Blanco River near San Marcos in Hays County, Texas. Its habitat, deep in limestone karst, makes collecting specimens for research particularly problematic. It is known from only a single specimen, collected in the 1950s. The Blanco blind salamander is considered a lost species, as it is unknown whether it is still alive or not. Four specimens were discovered in 1951 by a gravel company digging in the dry bed of the Blanco River. Two were eaten by a heron, one was lost and the final specimen was sent to the University of Texas at Austin for research. Any extant members of the species are believed to live in the Edwards Aquifer. Researchers are using environmental DNA analysis to assess whether it still lives, but are hampered by the fact that no extant viable DNA samples exist. For that reason, they are using si ...

Eurycea Chamberlaini
Chamberlain's dwarf salamander (''Eurycea chamberlaini'') is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae, endemic to the United States. Its natural habitats are temperate forests, rivers, and freshwater marshes. It is only found in the states of North Carolina and South Carolina. It was previously thought to be a color morph of the southeastern dwarf salamander (''Eurycea quadridigitata''), but was described in 2003 as a distinct species based on distinct morphology and behavior. A 2017 study reaffirmed it as being a distinct species. It was named after Edward Burnham Chamberlain, a former curator of the Vertebrate Zoology department at the Charleston Museum.

Desmognathus Folkertsi
The dwarf black-bellied salamander (''Desmognathus folkertsi'') is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the United States. Its natural habitats are temperate forests and rivers. The dwarf black-bellied salamander (''Desmognathus folkertsi'') was originally thought to be the blackbelly salamander (''Desmognathus quadramaculatus'') as they appear similar and are sympatric In biology, two related species or populations are considered sympatric when they exist in the same geographic area and thus frequently encounter one another. An initially interbreeding population that splits into two or more distinct species sh ... in the areas that the dwarf black-bellied salamander is found. They can be distinguished through genetically different loci or morphologically in that ''D. folkertsi'' are smaller, have different coloration and patterns, and different proportions in body.
