FIGURE 20. Large adult specimen (MMNS 19991/RAP1110) of Desmognathus valentinei from Thompson Creek, Wayne Co., Mississippi, showing typical adult coloration of "pale auriculatus" sensu Valentine (1963). Note overall distinctiveness in body form and coloration from D. pascagoula, including muted coloration of the postocular stripe, girth of the trunk and tail, distinctiveness of all three rows of "portholes" on the trunk, and lack of distinct dorsal color pattern.
