Chamberlain's Dwarf Salamander
Eurycea chamberlaini


Until recently, Chamberlain's dwarf salamander was considered a color variant of the dwarf salamander (Eurycea quadradigitata). These species are similar in appearance and habits, but the E. chamberlaini has a bright yellow belly (E. quadradigitata has a brown belly). Little is known about the ecology of this recently-described species.
