Bolitoglossa nussbaumi is a lungless salamander in the family Plethodontidae endemic to Guatemala. [2]
Bolitoglossa nussbaumi was described in 2010. Its specific epithet honors herpetologist Ronald A. Nussbaum. [3]
Bolitoglossa nussbaumi averages around 50mm in length. Its dark brown in coloration, and some individuals have darker brown stripes. Its toes are more distinct and less webbed than other members of its genus, distinguishing it from them. [3]
The species is only known from its type locality, the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes in Guatemala. It's believed that its distribution is limited to that area, as surveys in nearby suitable locations have never found Bolitogloss nussbaumi present. [1] Specimens have been collected with within and under rotting wood in dry, forested areas. [3]
The type series of Bolitoglossa nussbaumi was collected in 1998 and despite surveys taking place since then, the species has not been seen since. It was assessed as Critically Endangered and possibly extinct by the IUCN in 2020. The main threats facing it are believed to include disease, habitat loss, and climate change. [1]
Bolitoglossa engelhardti is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is found in the extreme south-eastern Chiapas, Mexico, and eastward along the Pacific versant to Volcán Atitlán in south-western Guatemala. It is named for Teodoro Engelhardt, Guatemalan plantation owner who entertained Karl Patterson Schmidt and his expedition. Its common names include Engelhardt's salamander, Engelhardt's mushroomtongue salamander, and Engelhardt's climbing salamander.
Bolitoglossa rostrata is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is found in Guatemala and Mexico. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The northern banana salamander, also known as common dwarf salamander or rufescent salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is found in the Atlantic slopes of Meso-America from San Luis Potosi, Veracruz, and northern Chiapas in Mexico continuing on to the southern part of Guatemala, Belize, and northern Honduras. However, its range south of Mexico is uncertain because the records may refer to other species.
Cryptotriton monzoni is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Guatemala and known only from near its type locality, Cerro del Mono near La Unión, Zacapa Department. The specific name monzoni honors José Monzón, a Guatemalan entomologist who helped the authors with the fieldwork. Common name Monzon's hidden salamander has been coined for it.
Nototriton brodiei is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the Sierra del Merendón and known from its type locality, Sierra de Caral in Izabal Department, eastern Guatemala, and from the Cusuco National Park in northwestern Honduras. The specific name brodiei honors Edmund D. Brodie Jr., an American herpetologist. Common name Cerro Pozo de Agua moss salamander has been coined for it.
