FIGURE 2 in Allocation of Salamandra auriculata Holbrook, 1838, with a new species of swamp-dwelling dusky salamander (Plethodontidae: Desmognathus) from the Atlantic Coastal Plain

FIGURE 2. Holotype (MNHN 2021.0131/RAP0955) of Desmognathus valtos. Specimen is an adult (53.1mm SVL), possibly a female based on apparent lack of mental gland and lack of peramorphic or hypertrophied jaw musculature. The holotype exhibits the diagnostic greenish-grey ground color with a reddish-orange dorsal wash, orangish stripe with indistinct margins on the dorsal surface of the tail, yellowish or orangish portholes on the lateral surfaces in three rows, and granular ventral color-pattern with clusters of xanthophores and melanophores interspersed with white flecks and speckles.
