Comment
In the Plethodon glutinosus group according to the original publication. Reviewed by Huntington, Stuhlman, and Cullen, 1993, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 557: 1–2. Petranka, 1998, Salamand. U.S. Canada: 355, rejected the distinction from Plethodon glutinosus on the basis of overall similarity. See comment under Plethodon cinereus. Anthony, 2005, in Lannoo (ed.), Amph. Declines: 838, provided a detailed account that summarized the biology and conservation literature. Wiens, Engstrom, and Chippindale, 2006, Evolution, 60: 2585–2603, suggested the possibility that Plethodon albagula and Plethodon sequoyah are conspecific; Highton, Hastings, Palmer, Watts, Hass, Culver, and Arnold, 2012, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 63: 278–290, discussed the evidence for this and rejected the hypothesis. Raffaëlli, 2013, Urodeles du Monde, 2nd ed.: 400, provided a brief account, photograph, and range map. Raffaëlli, 2022, Salamanders & Newts of the World: 919, provided an account summarizing systematics, morphology, life history, population status, and distribution (including a polygon map).
