Comment

Reviewed by Ireland, 1979, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 221: 1–4, as Eurycea longicauda guttolineata, who noted that some authors (e.g., Martof, Palmer, Bailey, and Harrison, 1980, Amph. Rept. Carolinas Virginia: 76) thought that Eurycea longicauda guttolineata may be a distinct species. Considered a distinct species by Carlin, 1997, Herpetologica, 53: 206–217. Petranka, 1998, Salamand. U.S. Canada: 249–251, provided a detailed account. Ryan and Douthitt, 2005, in Lannoo (ed.), Amph. Declines: 743–745, provided a detailed account that summarized the literature. Bonett, Steffen, Lambert, Wiens, and Chippindale, 2014 "2013", Evolution, 68: 473, recovered this species to be the sister taxon of Eurycea longicauda longicauda (see comment under that species). Raffaëlli, 2013, Urodeles du Monde, 2nd ed.: 249, provided a brief account, photograph, and map. Altig and McDiarmid, 2015, Handb. Larval Amph. US and Canada: 111–112, provided an account of larval morphology and biology.
