Andrias davidianus (Blanchard 1871; 1.8m in length; extant) is the Chinese giant salamander, a sister to Rana, the bullfrog and derived from a sister to Gerobatrachus. The jugal is absent. The orbit is much larger than the eyeball.

Karaurus sharovi (Ivachnenko 1978; Late Jurassic) nests with Celtedens in the LRT and resembled living salamanders in size, shape and lifestyle. The small orbit is confluent with upper and lateral temporal fenestrae.

Celtedens ibericus (originally Triton megacephalus Costa 1864; McGowan and Evans 1995; M 542; Lower Albian, Early Cretaceous; skull length 0.8cm, total length 4.5 cm) is a lissamphibian with soft tissue that includes scalation. The ribs extend laterally and are broader distally. The jugal is absent. The tail is short and slender.

Yaksha perettii (Daza et al. 2020; Mid- Cretaceous, 99 mya) is a tiny albanerpetid found in Myanmar amber retaining a long hyoid capable of capturing insect prey.

Necturus maculosus (Rafinesque 1818) is the extant mudpuppy, a salamander relative with gill slits. Strangely, the upper tooth row is divided in three parts. The short maxilla is fused to the premaxilla. The vomer is fused to the laterally exposed palatine. The ectopterygoid is ventral to the pterygoid. All jaw bones that reach the margin have large teeth.

On the palate,
the choana (internal naris) is open posteriorly. A central opening perforates the anterior palate. Otherwise the parasphenoid process is wider than in any other taxon.

On the mandible,
both the dentary and the coronoid have teeth. Several skull bones here are reidentified.

Postcranially,
pedal digit 5 is absent, distinct from all sister taxa.

Proteus anguinus (Laurenti 1768) is the extant white olm, a blind cave salamander. Here it nests with Necturus. The lacrimal and maxilla are absent. The postorbital and postfrontal are stretched out. External gills enable Proteus to remain underwater.
