Species

The number of species depends on the source. The Amphibian Species of the World lists the following three species:

Pseudotriton Caudata Culture Articles Pseudotriton

  • Pseudotriton diastictus Bishop, 1941 — midland mud salamander
  • Pseudotriton montanus Baird, 1850 — mud salamander
  • Pseudotriton ruber (Sonnini de Manoncourt and Latreille, 1801) — red salamander

  • Pseudotriton Caudata Culture Species Entry Pseudotriton ruber

    However, AmphibiaWeb lists only two species as it treats Pseudotriton diastictus as a subspecies of Pseudotriton montanus, as does the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
