Comment
Kuchta, Brown, and Highton, 2018, Zool. Scripta, 47: 285–299, noted this clade as composed of a set of populations, "southern wehrlei" and tentatively "population 29", but pending additional work refrained from recognizing the species. Removed formally from the synonymy of Plethodon wehrlei by Felix, Wooten, Pierson, and Camp, 2019, Zootaxa, 4609: 439, where it had been placed by Cochran, 1961, Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 220: 20, and Highton, 1962, Bull. Florida State Mus., Biol. Sci., 6: 318.
