4. correct

14, 43, no, lincolni was a good guess, but that species hasn't got the light flecks on the flanks.

 

[mark]

I was looking at another reputable website and thought..."Hey!I recognise that eye"... sure enough when I compared them they were very similar, and then on the same page I noticed the actual picture you’d used… so it was luck more than anything. But whilst I’m on a roll;

22 – D. conanti
14 – P. idahoensis

[william]

Mark, two more hits, well done!

i wasn't sure whether anyone would get the idahoensis, it's pretty obscure! also happens to be my favourite plethodon.

so that just leaves:
10, 11, 16, 17, 20, 21, 27, 31, 32, 35, 37, 39, 43, 47, 49
