Tilley SG. 1981. A New Species of Desmognathus (Amphibia: Caudata; Plethodontidae) from the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Occasional Papers of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan. 695:1-23
The author demonstrated (by electrophoresis) that D. fuscus populations in the mountains differ from those in the lowlands, and should be recognized as a different species. Tables and graphs compare snout-vent lengths, and other measurements are given. Maps show collecting stations.
