Notes
Flipped under a small board that was in the shade of a large bush in otherwise rather open field. Field had recently been planted with native vegetation. The salamander in this record is the larger, lighter one, with the other salamander in the vouchers has a more typical B. nigriventris appearance. I have strong questions about the ID of this salamander.
