Your right it is salamanders, it takes place mostly in their mouths, if you watch one it will look like it gasping for breath but really it is just moving air in and out of it's mouth, their may be some exchange on the outside skin but not much if their is.
Also in order for integumentary exchange provide enough oxygen to keep the organism alive it needs to be small the other options are to large.

In zootomy, the integumentary system is often the largest organ system of an animal by surface area, comprising skin, hair, feathers, scales, nails, sweat glands and their products (sweat and mucus). It distinguishes, separates, protects and informs the animal with regard to its surroundings. Small-bodied invertebrates of aquatic or continually moist habitats respire at their outer layer (integument). This gas exchange system, where gasses simply diffuse into and out of the interstitial fluid, is called integumentary exchange.

In botany, the integument refers to the envelope of an ovule.

The name derives from the Latin integumentum, which means 'a covering'.

Depends what are you referring 'primitive animals' as. But i will go for salamander. Mostly all amphibians utilise integumentary gas exchange as their hide is always damp and mucous-covered. Some salamanders like axolotls and sirens don't really rely on integumentary gas exchange. So, you are right. Go for salamander.
