The Blanco Blind Salamander (Eurycea robusta) is a species of aquatic, lungless salamander native to the United States. It is endemic to a small region of the Blanco River near San Marcos in Hays County, Texas. There is some doubt as to its taxonomic classification, and some sources suggest that it may actually be one of the other species of Eurycea endemic to Texas, but its habitat, deep in limestone karst, makes collecting specimens for research particularly problematic.
