Dotted lines outline known range of P. aureolus. locality in New Jersey (locality 10), 32 samples are genetically very similar and are referred to this species. All are from areas west, north or south of the range of P. aureolus (Fig. 2) and represent large, brassy-spotted animals similar in appearance to those from New Jersey, although some have chins that are much lighter than those in northern populations of P. glutinosus. Plethodon teyahalee was found at 44 localities, and at 28 of these P. aureolus was taken in sympatry. Plethodon teyahalee occurs at low and intermediate elevations east of the range of P. glutinosus (Fig. 2). Since P. teyahalee may be distinguished from the other two species by its color pattern in life, its distribution west of the French Broad River is probably accurately indicated by the map in Highton (1970, Fig. 5). Two samples from populations of Unicoi Mountain P. jordani are included in order to compare this species with the three other forms. These.
