Patch-nosed Salamander
Urspelerpes brucei
Urspelerpes is a monotypic genus of salamanders in the family Plethodontidae (the lungless salamanders). It is represented by a single species, the patch-nosed salamander (Urspelerpes brucei), a lungless miniature salamander found in streams of Georgia and South Carolina, United States. It marks the first discovery of an endemic amphibian genus from the United States since the Red Hills salamander (Phaeognathus) in 1961.
