The one-toed amphiuma (Amphiuma pholeter) is a species of aquatic, eel-like salamander in the family Amphiumidae.The species is native to the southeastern United States. It was unknown to science until 1950, when it was collected by herpetologist Wilfred T. Neill, who described it as a new species in 1964.
He added more species that had been discovered since 1985. The project's own page notes that there are ten times as many amphibian species known to science today than were known in the mid-1980s. [3] In July 1999, the catalogue was first published on the internet, in its 2.0 version. New versions were added in 2004, 2006 and 2007.
