The frosted flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma cingulatum) is an endangered salamander species native to the Southeastern United States. It is a small (9–13.5 cm total length), elongated species of mole salamander. It has a small, indistinct head, short legs, and a long, rounded tail.

The flatwoods salamander is medium-sized, reaching an adult length of 5 inches (13 centimeters). The body color ranges from silvery gray to black, with a heavily mottled back and a variable gray cross-band pattern. The underside is plain gray with faint creamy blotches. The head is small and has the same diameter as the neck.

Flatwoods salamanders, Ambystoma cingulatum, inhabit the southern Atlantic coast of the United States ranging from the middle of South Carolina to the panhandle of Florida. They span as far west as the Apalachicola-Flint Rivers in northern Florida, but not crossing the Appalachians in South Carolina or Georgia.

The frosted flatwoods salamander is a long and slender salamander that can reach a body length of 5.2 inches (13 centimeters) (Ashton 1992). It has a silvery-gray or black body with white spots that are less distinct than on the reticulated flatwoods salamander, Ambystoma bishopi (Goin 1950 as cited in Pauly et at. 2007). Frosted flatwoods ...

2025年1月3日 · The following information pertains to the Ambystoma cingulatum/bishopi complex as a whole. Post-larval individuals inhabit mesic longleaf pine (Pinus palustris)-wiregrass (Aristida stricta) flatwoods and savannas. The terrestrial habitat is best described as a topographically flat or slightly rolling wiregrass-dominated grassland having little ...

Recent surveys demonstrate significantly fewer extant populations of Ambystoma cingulatum. Out of the original 25 populations described in the final rule (74 FR 6700, April 2015), only nine are currently known to still exist, based on surveys conducted on public lands in 2014/2015 (W. Barichivich, USGS, pers. comm.).

Adults are typically 12 - 15 cm (4.5 - 6 inches) in total length. The broad-headed, bushy-gilled larva is very distinctive with a prominent tan or beige stripe running the length of the otherwise chocolate-brown body. The larva also has a dark brown stripe through each eye, extending from the nostril to the gills.
