) and BJS20070129003. Most adult specimens exhibited vestigal gills and gill filaments (Fig. 5a, c), as is characteristic of neotenic salamanders. Adult status was verified by the presence of eggs and enlarged testes. Most specimens had three pairs of external gills, although the gill filaments were indistinct in most. In one specimen, the external gills had disappeared and a small remnant of the gill slit remained.

). They also extend along the two dorsolateral ridges. On the ventral surface, the glands form two lateral lines extending from chin to cloaca. The glands are easily observed in all living specimens but become indistinct after preservation in formalin. The glands emitted a small amount of white, malodorous secretion when touched. There was strong odor in the natural environment, however, the odor became weaker after keeping and feeding the specimens in the lab for a short period of time. The function of these glands remains to be determined.
