| | These two families together form the sister taxon to the internally fertilizing salamanders, suborder Salamandroidea (Duellman and Trueb, 1986; Larson and Dimmick, 1993). | | | The genus Andrias contains the largest living salamanders, and fossil species attained even larger sizes, exceeding 2 meters in body length. | | | Salamanders of the family Cryptobranchidae are elongate (length may exceed 1.5 meters in the genus Andrias), dorsoventrally flattened, and permanently aquatic. |

| | AmphibiaWeb is a useful source for species lists and has information on some if not most of the species. | | | The Cryptobranchidae, although not a household name outside of herpetology, are best known for being the family of the two largest salamanders in the world, the impressive Andrias species which can reach 4-5ft in length. | | | LivingUnderworld.org also has an informative page on the Cryptobranchidae. |

| | Cryptobranchidae (Fitzinger, 1826) Giant Salamanders |
| | The family Cryptobranchidae is comprised of three paedomorphic, fully aquatic species, commonly known as the giant salamanders. | | | The genus Andrias (giant salamanders) contains two species found in Japan and China, and the genus Cryptobranchus contains only one species found in North America. | | | Andrias davidianus is the largest salamander in the world, reaching lengths of up to 152cm/5ft. |

| | Cryptobranchidae and Proteidae are represented by one genus each in the Nearctic and Palearctic regions. | | | At the family level, the greatest diversity is in the Nearctic region, where all families (except Hynobiidae) occur, and five families (Ambystomatidae, Amphiumidae, Dicamptodontidae, Rhyacotritonidae, and Sirenidae) are endemic. |

| | Caudata |
| | Some extinct species known only from fossils are grouped into the families Batrachosauroididae, Karauridae, Prosirenidae and Scapherpetontidae. | | | A few Mesozoic fossil salamanders (genera Comonecturoides, Galverpeton and Hylaeobatrachus, each containing a single species) have not been assigned to taxonomic families or suborders. | | | These families are grouped into four taxonomic suborders as follows: Cryptobranchoidea (Cryptobranchidae, Hynobiidae), Karauroidea (Karauridae), Salamandroidea (Ambystomatidae, Amphiumidae, Batrachosauroididae, Dicamptodontidae, Plethodontidae, Prosirenidae, Proteidae, Rhyacotritonidae, Salamandridae, Scapherpetontidae) and Sirenoidea (Sirenidae). |
