Las salamandras topo (Ambystomatidae) son un clado de anfibios caudados compuesto por 32 especies endémicas de México y Estados Unidos. El grupo estuvo un tiempo conformada sólo por el género Ambystoma, tras haber incluido a los géneros Dicamptodon y Rhyacotriton, los cuales a su vez pasaron a formar grupos monótípicos. Sin embargo, Frost et al (2006) reubicó a Dicamptodon en Ambystomatidae, siendo este cambio posteriormente aceptado por el Centro de Herpetología de Norteamérica.[1]
