The members of this genus are commonly known as the false brook salamanders.

These salamanders are commonly referred to as brook salamanders.

Some Pyrenean brook salamanders live entirely inside caves where they breed over a long period of the year due to lack of day length stimulus.

This genus is believed to be closely related to brook salamanders (genus Eurycea), but have five toes on their feet.

The genus "Eurycea" is mythological in origin and was first used by Rafinesque in 1822 to describe all brook salamanders.

At the bottom of the creek beds, there are native species: the Tyrrhenian painted frogs (a bariulata) - toads living up to 1900 m and Corsican brook salamanders (a Tarantella).

The larvae can easily be distinguished as other Eurycea species, so it is important to distinguish them correctly.

The Georgetown salamander is believed to reproduce in the winter, as many other Eurycea species do.

This retention of juvenile traits, called neoteny, is a fairly common trait within the genus Eurycea.

Compared to many other species in the genus Eurycea, E. bislineata has a large geographic distribution.

Larval cave salamanders appear similar to other larval Eurycea.

The genus "Eurycea" is mythological in origin and was first used by Rafinesque in 1822 to describe all brook salamanders.

The salamander is characterized by brownish-yellow coloration with a series of small dots along the body and a robust build compared to the other salamanders in Eurycea.

An analysis of salamanders of the genus Eurycea, also in the Appalachians, found that the current taxonomy of the group greatly underestimated species level diversity.

The Salado Springs Salamander (Eurycea chisholmensis) is a candidate species of salamander in the Plethodontidae family.

Eurycea neotenes and Eurycea rathbuni also live in caves and eat small bugs and other species of insects and spiders.

Following a major revision in 2006, the genus Haideotriton was found to be a synonym of Eurycea, while the genera Ixalotriton and Lineatriton were made synonyms of Pseudoeurycea.

Food Habits of the Banded Sculpin (Cottus carolinae) in Oklahoma With Reference to Predation on the Oklahoma Salamander (Eurycea tynerensis).

The genus Eurycea was first described by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque-Schmaltz in 1822, with a specimen of the spotted-tail salamander, Eurycea lucifuga, from Kentucky.

In 2011, the USFWS announced that Eurycea naufragia, along with three other Eurycea species found in central Texas (E. chisholmensis, E. tonkawae, and E. waterlooensis) would undergo the formal review for possible listing as an endangered species.

Like some other species of Eurycea found in Texas, it was once classified as a subspecies of the Texas salamander, Eurycea neotenes, and believed to possibly be the result of hybridization with another species of subterranean salamander, but was granted full species status in 2000.
