Euproctus, the European mountain salamanders, is a genus of salamanders in the family Salamandridae from Sardinia and Corsica.[1]

There are two species:[1][2]

The Pyrenean brook salamander used to be included in this genus as Euproctus asper, but was moved to Calotriton in 2005.[3][4] Its superficial similarity with Euproctus likely represents convergent evolution: strongly depressed head and body, and reduction or even absence of lungs, are adaptations to fast-running, well-oxygenated mountain streams.[4]
