About Plethodon sequoyah Highton, 1989
The Sequoyah slimy salamander, scientifically named Plethodon sequoyah, is a species of salamander belonging to the family Plethodontidae. This species is endemic to the Ouachita Mountains of the United States. Within this range, it is confirmed to occur only in Beavers Bend State Park, Oklahoma, plus a small area in extreme southwestern Arkansas; unconfirmed specimens that may belong to this species have been collected outside of Beavers Bend State Park. There is ongoing taxonomic uncertainty about whether Plethodon sequoyah is a distinct species separate from the northern slimy salamander, P. glutinosus. The natural habitat of the Sequoyah slimy salamander is temperate forest.
