Urspelerpes
''Urspelerpes brucei'', the patch-nosed salamander, is a lungless miniature salamander found in streams of Georgia and South Carolina, United States.〔 The species is the sole member of the genus ''Urspelerpes'' within the family Plethodontidae (the lungless salamanders). It marks the first discovery of an endemic amphibian genus from the United States since the Red Hills salamander (''Phaeognathus'') in 1961. ==Description== This genus is believed to be closely related to brook salamanders (genus ''Eurycea''), but have five toes on their feet. A distinctive characteristic is a yellowish patch on the snout. ''Urspelerpes'' is tiny, and adults are about long. Males and females have different coloration, with males having a pair of dark stripes running down their bodies, with yellow backs, and females being more muted in color (a more common trait in birds). Similar to other salamander species, this genus is believed to eat small terrestrial prey using its projectile tongue.
