The torrent salamanders or Cascade salamanders are a family of salamanders (Rhyacotritonidae) with only one genus, Rhyacotriton. The torrent salamanders have highly reduced lungs and are endemic to the United States in the Pacific Northwest (including northwestern California).[1][2]
Species
The genus Rhyacotriton includes four species:
- Cascade torrent salamander (R. cascadae)
- Columbia torrent salamander (R. kezeri)
- Olympic torrent salamander (R. olympicus)
- Southern torrent salamander (R. variegatus)
Taxonomy
Originally the genus Rhyacotriton was placed in the family Ambystomatidae, later in the family Dicamptodontidae, and finally in 1992 it was placed into a family of its own. At the same time the only species Rhyacotriton olympicus was split into four species due to genetic analysis.
