Eurycea aquatica (Dark-sided Salamander; Brown-backed Salamander)

Synonyms: Eurycea bislineata aquatica

Wikipedia Abstract

The brownback salamander (Eurycea aquatica) is a species of brook salamander. Its range includes parts of Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee, where it occurs in natural freshwater springs typically abundant in watercress. Once considered an ecotype of the southern two-lined salamander, the brownback salamander was subsequently raised to full species status based on molecular evidence.
