The male's pattern is very simmilar to that of a two-lined salamander (Eurycea bislineata complex), the female looks vaguely like a tiny spring salamander (Gyrinophilus porphyriticus), and also vaguely like some of the tropical bolitoglossins. Genetic data so far indicates the species is basal to Eurycea and is distinct enough from it to warrant its own genus. How long that lasts we'll just have to see; several genera (Manculus, Typhlotriton, Haideotriton, Typhlomolge) have been synonymized with Eurycea in the recent past, but they were forms clearly derived from within Eurycea. This salamander's position relative to Eurycea is more like that of Phaeognathus relative to Desmognathus (or Cemophora relative to Lampropeltis for you snake people or Malaclemys relative to Graptemys for turtle people)- it is a monotypic sister lineage to a much more diverse lineage. It would not violate any rules to stuff these sister taxa into the larger genera, but it would lose the indication of their great distinctness.
. Considering the unreal heat here even in shade for so many months a year was surprised any sallys even up north.
