Dendrotriton bromeliacius (Schmidt, 1936) | |
Dendrotriton bromeliacius is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is found in Guatemala.
D. bromeliacius is a sister species to D. rabbi , and is thought to have diverged from it within the Sierra Madre de Chiapas in the past 100,000 years. However, it is no longer found there - Bromeliacius is only found on the slopes of Volcán Tajumulco between the elevations of 1900 meters to 2700 meters, indicating a dispersal from its origin point. [2] Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, although it is threatened by habitat loss.
The speckledblack salamander, previously known as just the black salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the U.S. state of California. Its natural habitats are temperate forests and temperate grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Guerreran climbing salamander is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Mexico. It is found on the Pacific slope of the Sierra Madre del Sur in the basins of the Atoyac and Tecpan rivers, between 765 and 2,800 meters elevation. Its extent of occurrence (EOO) is 1,122 km2.
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 Zapotec salamander is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae.
Dendrotriton cuchumatanus is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Guatemala and is known from its type locality near San Juan Ixcoy in the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes, and possibly from another, as yet unconfirmed record. Common name forest bromeliad salamander has been coined for it, although it does not seem to inhabit bromeliads.
Dendrotriton rabbi, commonly known as the Guatemalan bromeliad salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Guatemala and is known from the Montañas de Cuilco, near the Mexican border, and from the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes. Its range might extend into Mexico.
Dendrotriton sanctibarbarus is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Honduras and was first described in 1996.
Dendrotriton xolocalcae, commonly known as the Xolocalca bromeliad salamander or Xolocalco bromeliad salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Chiapas, Mexico, and only known from its type locality, Cerro Ovando, at an elevation of about 2,000 m (6,600 ft) asl. The specific name xolocalcae is derived from the Indian name of Cerro Ovando, Xolocalco.
The blackbelly salamander is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the United States. Its natural habitats are rivers, intermittent rivers, and freshwater springs. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Nototriton barbouri is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Honduras.
Parvimolge is a genus of salamanders in the family Plethodontidae, the lungless salamanders. It is currently considered as monotypic, although this may yet change as molecular data suggest that it is embedded within a paraphyletic Pseudoeurycea. Parvimolge townsendi is endemic to the northern Sierra Madre de Oaxaca in central and southern Veracruz, Mexico, between 900 and 1900 meters elevation. It is represented by the species Parvimolge townsendi, commonly known as Townsend's dwarf salamander.
The Rich Mountain salamander is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the Ouachita Mountains in western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. Its natural habitat is temperate forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Pseudoeurycea goebeli is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is found in Guatemala and Mexico. It's natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. These salamanders live at an elevation of 2400–2900 meters in the cloud forest. Researchers have found that their mating and spermiogenesis do not depend on temporal changes like other salamanders in that area. Another unique fact about these specific salamanders is that even though they have mating opportunities throughout the year and they are active all year, they are seasonal egg-layers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Pseudoeurycea smithi, commonly known as Smith's false brook salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to certain mountainous regions of Mexico. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Thorius pulmonaris, commonly known as the lower cerro pigmy salamander or Cerro San Felipe salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Oaxaca, Mexico.

The black-chested mountain tanager is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae.
The pygmy cuckooshrike is a species of bird in the cuckooshrike family Campephagidae. It is endemic to the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The blue cuckooshrike is a species of bird in the Cuckooshrike family, Campephagidae. It is found from Sierra Leone and Liberia to eastern and south-western Democratic Republic of Congo. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
