The Caucasian salamander (''Mertensiella caucasica'') is a species of stream-dwelling salamander in the Salamandridae family. This is a salamander of medium size, with a thin, elongated body. It is a relict species, endemic to the south-western Caucasus, in Georgia and Turkey. The subspecies ''M. c. janashvilii''〔 is found at Mt. Mtirala near Batumi and probably along the Black Sea coast. ==Habitat, behavior and diet== The Caucasian salamander lives along the banks of mountain brooks and small rivers with fast currents, both in the forest belt and above timberline, up to about 2400 m above sea level.〔〔〔〔〔 The species is secretive and strictly nocturnal, and mates on land. The male uses the protuberance on the upper side of the tail for opening the female's cloaca and passes the spermatophore directly to the female.〔〔 Their diets consist of invertebrates living in soil or shallow water; an important part of the diet is amphipods.〔〔
