Large alpine salamander  (Salamandra lanzai)

Description

The large alpine salamander was first described as recently as 1988 (3). It is a little-known species, that is generally similar in appearance to the alpine salamander (Salamandra atra). It differs in its larger size (2), the fact that it has a rounded tail tip, whereas the alpine salamander has a pointed tail, and the absence of glandular pores on the back (2). It is black in colour, has a flattened head and web-like skin between the digits (3).
