Dendrotriton Megarhinus
''Dendrotriton megarhinus'', also known as the longnose bromeliad salamander or long-nosed bromeliad salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to southwestern Chiapas, Mexico, where it is only known from the Cerro Tres Picos, the type locality. Description The type series consists of eight specimens. The three males that could be reliably sexed measure in snout–vent length. Similarly, the two females with reliable sex measure in snout–vent length. The tail is somewhat longer or equal to the body length, with the largest type measuring in total length. The snout is elongate and have extremely large nostrils (to which the specific name ''megarhinus'' refers). The body is slender. The digits have relatively broad tips and show a variable degree of webbing. The alcohol-preserved specimens are dorsally dark brown with some darker and light mottling along the middle of the back and tail. The venter is dirty cream. Habitat and conservati ...

Dendrotriton Rabbi
''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. Etymology The specific name ''rabbi'' honours George B. Rabb, an American zoologist. Description Males grow to at least and females to in snout–vent length. Individuals larger than about SVL are mature. Tail is longer than the body in adults. The limbs are slender and relatively long. The feet are slightly webbed. The body is dark brown dorsally and has obscure orange flecks and lighter pigmentation mid-dorsally; some individuals have light mid-dorsal stripe, paravertebral stripes, or distinct reticulate blotching. The venter is light gray and is diffusely peppered with small melanophores. Habitat and conservation ''Dendrotriton rabbi'' inhabits forests at the subtropic ...

Dendrotriton Xolocalcae
''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 asl. The specific name ''xolocalcae'' is derived from the Indian name of Cerro Ovando, ''Xolocalco''. Description The holotype (sex unspecified) measures in snout–vent length and in total length. The body and head are flattened, and the head is much broader than the body. The hands and feet are large. Only the first finger and toe are webbed; the digits are broad and truncate. The tail is slender and attenuated. There are three distinct color patters: most specimens are mottled brownish-lavender above, with a black, triangular head marking. Some specimens have a pair of cream dorsolateral lines that start from the eyelid and continue back. The third variety has pinkish cream back and tail, with ...

Dendrotriton Cuchumatanus
''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. Description Males grow to at least and females to in snout–vent length. The tail is relatively short, and only barely exceeds the body length in adult males; relative tail length is shorter in juveniles and females. The limbs are moderately long in males but shorter in females. The hands and feet are moderately webbed. Th coloration and patterning are variable, but discrete color morphs are not evident. Many individuals have a red-brown to tan-colored mid-dorsal stripe. Some specimens have a distinctly mottled gray and brown dorsal pattern, while others are essentially uniformly gray-black to brown-black dorsal ...

Dendrotriton Bromeliacius
''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. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, although it is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ....

Plethodontidae
Plethodontidae, or lungless salamanders, are a family of salamanders. Most species are native to the Western Hemisphere, from British Columbia to Brazil, although a few species are found in Sardinia, Europe south of the Alps, and South Korea. In terms of number of species, they are by far the largest group of salamanders. Biology Adult lungless salamanders have four limbs, with four toes on the fore limbs, and usually with five on the hind limbs. Within many species, mating and reproduction occur solely on land. Accordingly, many species also lack an aquatic larval stage, a phenomenon known as direct development in which the offspring hatch as fully-formed, miniature adults. Direct development is correlated with changes in the developmental characteristics of plethodontids compared to other families of salamanders including increases in egg size and duration of embryonic development. Additionally, the evolutionary loss of the aquatic larval stage is related to a diminishing dep ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Honduras
Honduras, officially the Republic of Honduras, is a country in Central America. The republic of Honduras is bordered to the west by Guatemala, to the southwest by El Salvador, to the southeast by Nicaragua, to the south by the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Fonseca, and to the north by the Gulf of Honduras, a large inlet of the Caribbean Sea. Its capital and largest city is Tegucigalpa. Honduras was home to several important Mesoamerican cultures, most notably the Maya, before the Spanish Colonization in the sixteenth century. The Spanish introduced Catholicism and the now predominant Spanish language, along with numerous customs that have blended with the indigenous culture. Honduras became independent in 1821 and has since been a republic, although it has consistently endured much social strife and political instability, and remains one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. In 1960, the northern part of what was the Mosquito Coast was transferred from Nicara ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
