ORDER CAUDATA Fischer 1813 View in CoL , 58

(1 family, 5 genera, 7 subgenera, 38 species, 24 endemic species). Dubois & Raffaëlli (2012) argued for using Urodela for this order. Fouquette & Dubois (2014) continued the arguments of Dubois & Raffaëlli (2012). A.M.C. Duméril (1805, 91) had used the French vernacular Urodèles for this order. Fischer used Caudati as apparently an equivalent of Urodeli of Duméril. As the CODE does not regulate order names it comes down to a matter of choice, thus I continue to use Caudata for the salamander order, in part, because Fischer used Caudati before he used Urodeli.
