Pseudoeurycea Lynchi
''Pseudoeurycea lynchi'', commonly known as the Veracruz green salamander, is a species of salamanders in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the central Sierra Madre Oriental in Veracruz and Puebla states, Mexico. Etymology The specific name ''lynchi'' honors Dr. (1942–1988), a "friend and long-time collaborator". (Not as sometimes claimed.) Description Adult males measure and females in snout–vent length (SVL). The tail is relatively stout, tapering rather abruptly toward the tip, and is about the same length as the SVL (range 86–115 %). The hands and feet are comparatively well developed. The coloration of the dorsum is variable: dark green, green-ochre, pale yellow-green, tannish yellow, or in some populations, even blue-gray. The ground color is black, and there are usually many black spots and short streaks. The tail is usually paler than the body and ends with a bright yellow to reddish orange tip.

Pseudoeurycea Firscheini
''Pseudoeurycea firscheini'' is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca of west-central Veracruz, Mexico, and known from Acultzingo (its type locality) on the Puebla–Veracruz border eastward to the Sierra Zongolica. It is also known as the Firschein's false brook salamander or simply Firschein's salamander. The specific name ''firscheini'' honors Mr. Irwin Lester Firschein, an American biologist, geneticists, and anthropologist. The authors acknowledge Firschein for his explorations on Volcan San Martin, said to "have done much toward stimulating interest in this region of Mexico". Description ''Pseudoeurycea firscheini'' was described based on four specimens of unspecified sex, including the holotype measuring in snout–vent length and a juvenile measuring in snout–vent length and in total length. The adults have small, lichen-like light spots on the tail. The sides and the underparts of the body are almost ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pseudoeurycea Aquatica
''Pseudoeurycea aquatica'', which has been given the common name of aquatic salamander is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Mexico and only known from its type locality in the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca near Totontepec Villa de Morelos, Oaxaca. The natural habitat of ''Pseudoeurycea aquatica'' is cloud forest at about above sea level. It lives aquatically in streams, the only plethodontid salamander in Mesoamerica to do so. It is only known from three specimens collected in 1978, and the original habitat has been completely destroyed. Subsequent searches have been unsuccessful, and the species is likely to be extinct Extinction is the termination of a kind of organism or of a group of kinds (taxon), usually a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and ....

Pseudoeurycea Melanomolga
''Pseudoeurycea melanomolga'', commonly known as the black false brook salamander or black salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Mexico and known from the surroundings of the Cofre de Perote in west-central Veracruz as well as from two localities in the adjacent northeast Puebla (near Teziutlán and González Ortega). Description The holotype is an adult female measuring in snout–vent length. The tail is missing but would probably have been at least as long as the body. There is a slight, transverse gular fold, with the associated grooves reaching mid-dorsal line. The colouration is purplish black above and somewhat lighter ventrally. There are paired dorsal flecks corresponding to the costal grooves, few flecks on the sides, and a more prominent fleck in the lateral end of each gular fold.
