Many-lined Salamander vs. Wolf Dusky Salamander

Both are brown salamanders of the blackwater creeks and swamps of the Chowan drainage. A: Plain yellowish brown, with fine lines low on the sides in the Many-lined Salamander; granite-like grey-brown speckling, with thick dark lines along the stripe in the Wolf Dusky Salamander. B: Small, narrow and flat; a faint dark band back from the eye, no pale line in the Many-lined Salamander; a pale line from the eye to the angle of the jaw in the Wolf Dusky Salamander. Dusky salamanders have heavy hind legs, bigger than the front ones.
