Amphiumas (Amphiumidae) of the United States
Amphiuma is a genus of aquatic salamanders from the United States, the only extant genus within the family Amphiumidae. They are colloquially known as Amphiumas. They are also known to fisherman as 'conger eels' or Congo Snakes' which are zoologically incorrect disignations or misnomers, since amphiumas are actually salamanders and thus an amphibian, not a fish or reptile.
There are 3 species, representing 1 genus, that are native to the United States.
