The yellow-spotted woodland salamander (Plethodon pauleyi) is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the United States , where it is distributed throughout the Cumberland Plateau in the states of Kentucky and Tennessee . Its natural habitat is temperate forest. It was long considered to be both an isolated western population and a unique yellow-spotted color morph of the Wehrle's salamander (P. wehrlei), but a study published in 2019 found it to be a distinct species.[1][2]
