In addition to general family/genus info, I would recommend focusing a little on A. mexicanum and A. tigrinum, those being the two most important species with some unique info (though as Froggie mentions, questions on species really shouldn't be asked, and tend to be rare).

This isn't the best way but the fatter looking ones are (usually) Ambystomatidae.

It's the lizard with (usually) green on the back, with strips on the side.

Any way of identifying different genuses of lungless salamanders?

Fossils is the easiest ID.
Invasives was pretty easy too, except for some.
(Rocks and Minerals seems hard too)
