Comment
See account by Martof, 1968, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 57: 1–2 (as Ambystoma cingulatum bishopi). Petranka, 1998, Salamand. U.S. Canada: 50–53, provided an account of Ambystoma cingulatum in the sense of including Ambystoma bishopi as a synonym. Pauly, Piskurek, and Shaffer, 2007, Mol. Ecol., 16: 415–429, provided evidence that Ambystoma cingulatum and Ambystoma bishopi are not conspecific. Raffaëlli, 2013, Urodeles du Monde, 2nd ed.: 115, provided a brief account, photo, and map. Altig and McDiarmid, 2015, Handb. Larval Amph. US and Canada: 82–83, provided an account of larval morphology. Wendt, Haas, Gorman, and Roberts, 2021, Conserv. Genetics, 22: 551–567, reported on metapopulation genetics in two breeding populations on Eglin Air Force Base, western Florida, USA. Palis, Gorman, and Pauly, 2022, Cat. Am. Amph.
