The species is commonly called the dusky salamander or northern dusky salamander to distinguish it from populations in the southern United States which form several distinct species, the southern dusky salamanders (D. 1-84.Ĭrother, Brian I., Jeff Boundy, Jonathan A.

Seepage salamanders lack an aquatic larval stage. The female will remain with the eggs until hatching. Reproduction: Seepage salamanders typically lay 11-14 eggs in moss or under cover objects near streams and seepages. Where present, this species is often locally abundant. 1 2 They range from Texas to the eastern United States and to south-eastern Canada. The seepage salamander has a patchy distribution in deciduous forests of southwestern North Carolina. Desmognathus is a genus of lungless salamanders in the family Plethodontidae known as dusky salamanders. They have a keeled (knife-like) tail that is less than half the body length. Seepage salamanders may also be present in moist areas under rocks, logs, and leaf litter in the vicinity of small streams. Desmognathus fuscus is a small but robust salamander with 14 costal grooves, and hind limbs that are larger than the front limbs.

Habitat/Range: This species is named after the wet seepage areas in which it is commonly found. This dataset represents a species habitat distribution map for Ocoee Salamander (Desmognathus ocoee) within the conterminous United States (CONUS) based on 2001 ground conditions. As in most Desmognathus, a light line is present from the eye to the back of the jaw. This species often has a light circular mark on the top of each thigh and a Y-shaped mark on the top of the head. Description: The seepage salamander is an especially small, slender salamander with a yellow to reddish-brown dorsal stripe.
