At 28 of the 31 P. aureolus localities, white-spotted P. glutinosus has been taken in sympatry. Highton (1972) pointed out that the name Plethodon jordani teyahalee Hairston (1950) is available for the latter form.

The population at the type locality, Teyahalee Bald, Graham- Cherokee County Une, North Carolina, is probably of hybrid origin, but is much more like white-spotted P. glutinosus than P. jordani (Highton 1970). As shown below, this form occurs sympatrically with both P. aureolus and P. glutinosus at locality 4, where apparent reproductive isolation exists between all three forms. On the basis of this evidence, I suggest that the white-spotted form should also be recognized as a dis- tinct species, P. teyahalee. Its distribution and genetic relationships will be discussed in a later paper. ^'^^ .^^^ ^^\r'-^ '-1 \ MONROE CO. \ \ \ •15 20. •18 19 '36 25. • -''•37 2^*38 GRAHAM CO. / • 27, t /^'ll I / 4^^^ /*r2 .- \ ^-'-v .W 3 .
