@ash2016 this needs to be split - are southern illinois salamanders Eurycea longicauda or Eurycea melanopleura ?https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/138973

Unfortunately every mile west of the Appalachians my knowledge becomes sparser and sparser; I'm not really sure.

@graytreefrog @squamatologist ?

Southern Illinois is longicauda according to ASW (https://amphibiansoftheworld.amnh.org/Amphibia/Caudata/Plethodontidae/Hemidactyliinae/Eurycea/Eurycea-longicauda), though western Illinois is melanopleura apparently.
