Chamberlain's dwarf salamander (Eurycea chamberlaini) is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae, endemic to the United States. Its natural habitats are temperate forests, rivers, and freshwater marshes.[2][3]
It is only found in the states of North Carolina and South Carolina. It was previously thought to be a color morph of the southeastern dwarf salamander (Eurycea quadridigitata), but was described in 2003 as a distinct species based on distinct morphology and behavior.[4] A 2017 study reaffirmed it as being a distinct species.[5]
It was named after Edward Burnham Chamberlain, a former curator of the Vertebrate Zoology department at the Charleston Museum.[5]
