Pseudoeurycea leprosa is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae, endemic to Mexico.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Ixalotriton parva, the dwarf false brook salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to a small mountainous area of Mexico where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. There is some doubt whether this species should be classified as Pseudoeurycea parva or Ixalotriton parva.

It is native to the Sierra Madre del Sur of Guerrero state, around the towns of Asoleadero and Carrizal de Bravo. It occurs at elevations ranging between 2,200 and 2,600 meters elevation. Its current known extent of occurrence (EOO) is 50 km2.
