Comment: This species was previously considered to be P. regilla (Baird and Girard) but study has shown that that species 
is restricted to the extreme northern coast of California north to Washington. This frog lives in the twilight zone and is usu¬ 
ally found on flat walls, floors, and in comers. Up to 26 individuals were counted in Wool Hollow Cave. Lange (1951) sum¬ 
marizes a report of an “eyeless albino frog” in Anonymous (1881).
