The Tadami clawed salamander (Onychodactylus fuscus) is a species of clawed salamander from Japan .[1] It is known to occur in four different localities in the Fukushima and Niigata Prefectures,[2] including Tadami and Sanjō.[3] The species grows 14 centimetres (5.5 in) to 16 centimetres (6.3 in) long,[3] and differs from the Japanese clawed salamander (O. japonicus) by having a long tail and wide head, as well as lacking a dorsal stripe.[2] O. fuscus lives in streams[3] and breeds during the winter.[2] The species is closely related to Onychodactylus intermedius. It shares much of its habitat with O. japonicus, but the two species are reproductively isolated.[2]
