 | | Rhyacotritonids are relatively small salamanders (body length under 5 inches) having short tails and small heads with eyes proportionally large and prominent. | | | Geographic variation and speciation in the torrent salamanders of the genus Rhyacotriton (Caudata: Rhyacotritonidae). | | | This genus formerly was placed in the families Ambystomatidae and Dicamptodontidae, but the phylogenetic analyses of Larson (1991) and Larson and Dimmick (1993) indicate that Rhyacotriton is only a distant relative of the other salamanders placed in these families. |

| | An advantage of the phylogenetic tree presented here is that it maintains monophyly of the salamanders having internal fertilization of eggs (extant families of the suborder Salamandroidea; mode of fertilization is not known for extinct salamanders of this suborder), which is strongly supported by the characters derived from cloacal anatomy (see Sever, 1991a, 1991b). | | | The weight of the phylogenetic evidence places the Amphiumidae and Plethodontidae as sister taxa, but this result is not statistically significant (see discussion by Larson [1991] and Larson and Dimmick [1993]). | | | Some extinct species known only from fossils are grouped into the families Batrachosauroididae, Karauridae, Prosirenidae and Scapherpetontidae. |

| | Rhyacotritonidae (Tihen, 1859) Torrent Salamanders |
| | Torrent Salamanders are small (11cm), semi-aquatic/terrestrial salamanders found exclusively in western North America. | | | Originally classed in the family Ambysotmatidae, and later moved to Dicamptodontidae, the genus Rhyacotriton was formally placed in its own separate family, Rhyacotritonidae, in 1992 (Good and Wake). | | | See also the complete Amphibian Gallery, and the Member Galleries. |

| | Morphology |
| | The family Rhyacotritonidae was split into four species based on variation among proteins between populations (Good and Wake 1992. | | | There are four currently recognized species within the Rhyacotritonidae, R. cascadae, R. kezeri, R. olympicus, and R. variegatus, with R. variegatus being the only species that makes it into California. | | | Larvae are of the stream type, having very short lungs and adult proportions (Stebbins 2003). |
