Green salamander
The green salamander (''Aneides aeneus'') is a member of the lungless salamanders, family Plethodontidae. It is the only member of the ''Aneides'' genus that inhabits the Eastern United States (all other ''Aneides'' salamanders are found in the west). Rarely seen in the field,〔 the green salamander is an extremely habitat-specific species that is seldom found away from its preferred surroundings: moist, shaded rock crevices.
==Description and taxonomy==
The green salamander is small and notably flat. ''Aneides aeneus''‘ green, lichen-like blotches against a darker dorsum make it the only salamander in North America with green markings.〔 ''A. aeneus'' possesses squared toe-tips, large, conspicuous eyes, and a light blue to yellow ventral surface. Adults range from 8–12 cm (3 to 5 in) with 14 to 15 costal grooves.〔
Currently, ''aeneus'' is the only species of the ''Aneides'' genus found in the Eastern United States. Some claim that there may be up to four different species of ''Aneides'' between the Cumberland Plateau and Blue Ridge Escarpment populations, but there has yet to be published molecular data to prove or disbar these claims.〔
''Aneides aneus'' is the only salamander in North America with green markings. Due also to ''A. aneus'' ’ hyper-specific habitat, it is almost unmistakable when found in the field.
