The California slender salamander (Batrachoseps attenuatus) is a lungless salamander [2] that is found primarily in coastal mountain areas of Northern California, United States as well as in a limited part of the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada, California, in patches of the northern Central Valley of California, and in extreme southwestern Oregon.
While Batrachoseps major is a small salamander, it is larger than most other Batrachoseps slender salamanders. Adults are 3.2–5.9 centimetres (1.3–2.3 in) in length and have 17-21 costal grooves. [3] Like other Batrachoseps, B. major has only four toes on its hind feet.
This salamander is endemic to a location in the lower watershed of the Kings River at elevations from 335–340 metres (1,099–1,115 ft), and the Summit Meadow location at 2,470 metres (8,100 ft) in Kings Canyon National Park, all in the western Sierra Nevada.

Batrachoseps campi is one of the largest slender salamanders, a genus otherwise mainly made up of very small species, and can grow to over 6 cm in length. It has a relatively broad head, and is colored brown with numerous gray speckles. These speckles often cover most of the salamander, making it appear silvery-gray.
