The pigmentary system of skin from adult specimens of the amphibian urodele Salamandra atra aurorae was investigated by light microscope, electron microscope and biochemical studies. Three chromatophore types are present in yellow skin. Xantophores are located in the epidermis. Black skin has a single type of cromatophore, the melanophores. Both skin types present some pteridines and flavins.
