Aneides iecanus (Cope, 1883)

Current SSAR Comments:
Populations along the inner margins of the Coast Ranges in western Tehama and Glenn Counties may be assignable to A. iecanus, but further surveys including morphological and genetic analyses are needed (Reilly and Wake, 2019, PeerJ, 7: e7370).

Range maps are based on curated specimens and provided gratis by CNAH.
