Luschan's salamander or Lycian salamander (Lyciasalamandra luschani) is a species of salamander in the family Salamandridae. It is found in the southwestern Anatolia in Turkey and in adjacent Greece (the island of Kastellorizo and its satellites).[1][2]
Description
Luschan's salamander is brown with small yellow dots dorsally, yellow or whitish laterally, and flesh-colored ventrally. The eyes are prominent, as are the narrow paratoid glands. The tail is thin. Males have a protruding "spike" at the base of their tails on the dorsal surface. Adults may grow to 13 cm (5.1 in) in total length.[3]
Habitat and status
Its natural habitats are temperate forests and Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Subspecies
The three subspecies are:[2][4]
- L. l. basoglui (Baran & Atatür, 1980)[5][6]
- L. l. finikensis (Basoglu & Atatür, 1975)[5][6]
- L. l. luschani (Steindachner, 1891)[5][6]
