Description: Members of this complex are identified with the noting of four toes on each limb. Patterning is minimal, and may include spots, lines, and speckling. They are usually yellow-orange on the dorsum and may be gray or brown on the sides and belly. May have a 'Y' shape between eyes.

Habitat: This species inhabits steephead and ravine systems where it can be found in close proximity to typical E. quadridigitata breeding habitat in the floodplains of major creeks and rivers. Females and adult males are often found in first order seepage amongst mats of sphagnum or in leaf packs sitting on top of deep, organic muck along slopes above creek systems.

Range: It ranges from southern Mississippi east through Louisiana to eastern Texas.

Found in these States: AL | AR | LA | MS | TX

Diet: Various small invertebrates

Reproduction: The breeding habitat of this species includes floodplains of major creeks and rivers and eggs are laid in seepage areas or in forested areas near the edge of shallow ponds on undersides of logs or leaves, under or on sphagnum or pine needles, or on rootlets beneath logs.

Status: Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.

Taxonomy: Formerly a member of the Eurycea quadridigitata complex, recently split based on genetic and fine-scale morphological analyses.
