Description
It is a large, black salamander with white spots. It can be distinguished from the rest of the A. flavipunctatus complex by its heavily speckled body, head, and tail, and on average has one less trunk vertebra than A. klamathensis or A. niger.
Range & habitat
It is thought to be restricted to western Shasta County, mainly in the vicinity of Shasta Lake, but may extend into extreme southern Siskyou and Tehama counties.
