Endangered (EN) species are considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.

No subpopulations of amphibians have been evaluated by the ...
The species has only been found in parts of Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee, and is considered to be a rare Appalachian salamander that makes its home in ancient rock faces.
