[edit] Tail
In the article there are a few mistakes on the origin of the words Urodela and Caudata:
Uros and not Ur means tail Greek.
Cauda (not Caude) is tail in Latin not in Greek. Plch 23:48, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect information
You used a very old synonym for the Giant Chinese and Japanese salamanders. They are now in the genus Andrias of the family cryptobranchidae.
Also, the North American mole salamanders are of the genus Ambystoma not Ambylostoma.
Salamanders do occur in South America as part of the large genus of Plethodontid salamanders, Bolitoglossa.
All your examples are genus names. Some of these are large and contain many species such as Ambystoma and Tylototriton.
I also seriously doubt your information on neoteny in salamanders and suggest you cite some sources for this information. The causes of facultative neoteny are not currently known.

Ambystoma are mole salamanders, not terrestrial newts as stated in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.81.146 (talk) 03:26, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Huh?
Why doesn't this redirect to Salamander, as Caudata does? -- Visviva 09:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
