Comment

Farr, Lazcano, and Lavín-Murcio, 2009, Herpetol. Rev., 40: 459-467, provided new records (likely an unnamed species) from Tamaulipas, Mexico, and commented on the range. Raffaëlli, 2013, Urodeles du Monde, 2nd ed.: 281–283, excluded Pseudoeurycea rubrimembris from Pseudoeurycea cephalica, and discussed three unnamed species under that name. Raffaëlli, 2022, Salamanders & Newts of the World: 633–634, provided an account including this in the Aquiloeurycea cephalica group, summarizing systematics, life history, population status, and distribution (including a polygon map). See comments under Aquiloeurycea cephalica for access to other literature where this taxon was treated as a synonym or subspecies of Aquiloeurycea cephalica. Tighe, 2022, Smithson. Contrib. Zool., 654: 20, noted the present location of paratypes.
