Lungless salamanders in the family   Plethodontidae   exhibit an impressive array of life history strategies and occur in a diversity of habitats, including caves. However, relationships between life history, habitat, and body size remain largely unresolved. During an ongoing study on the demography and life history of the paedomorphic, cave-obligate Berry Cave Salamander (   Gyrinophilus   gulolineatus   , Brandon 1965), we discovered an exceptionally large individual from the type locality, Berry Cave, Roane County, Tennessee, USA. This salamander measured 145 mm in body length and represents not only the largest    G.   gulolineatus    and    Gyrinophilus    ever reported, but also the largest plethodontid salamander in the United States. We discuss large body size in    G.   gulolineatus    and compare body size in other large plethodontid salamanders in relation to life history and habitat.
