Oedipina Taylori
''Oedipina taylori'', commonly known as Taylor's worm salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is found on the Pacific versant in south-eastern Guatemala, to central to north-eastern El Salvador and adjacent southern Honduras. Honduran populations might represent another species. Etymology The specific name ''taylori'' honors Edward Harrison Taylor (1889–1978), an American herpetologist. Description ''Oedipina taylori'' was described by in 1952 based on a single specimen. This specimen—the holotype—is an adult male that measured in snout–vent length (SVL). Its tail is incomplete but is presumed to have been several times the SVL. The limbs are short, with partially webbed hands and feet. The coloration is gun-metal blue. It resembles ''Oedipina alfaroi'' but it has less webbing in the digits and a reduced number of vomerine teeth. Habitat and conservation Its natural habitats probably are lowland and mid-altitude forests, but it has al ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Oedipina Gephyra

Oedipina Parvipes
''Oedipina parvipes'', commonly known as the Colombian worm salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is found in western Colombia and north-western Ecuador. Its type locality is Cáceres, Antioquia. It may occur further north to Panama and Costa Rica, but these records require confirmation as the species is morphologically indistinguishable from Costa Rican '' Oedipina uniformis''. Its natural habitat In ecology, the term habitat summarises the array of resources, physical and biotic factors that are present in an area, such as to support the survival and reproduction of a particular species. A species habitat can be seen as the physical ... is humid lowland forest, wherein it lives in leaf-litter.

Oedipina Maritima
''Oedipina maritima'', commonly known as the maritime worm salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Isla Escudo de Veraguas, Panama. Description ''Oedipina maritima'' is a small salamander species: males grow to a snout–vent length (SVL) of and females to . The head is small and narrow, and the body is slender, with tail longer than SVL. The clutch size is about six eggs. They have direct development: eggs hatch into juveniles that measure about in total length, still retaining their gills. Range and habitat This species is known only from Isla Escudo de Veraguas in Bocas del Toro Province, Panama. If it is restricted to this island (there is a juvenile specimen from the mainland that may belong to this species), it is the only tropical salamander that is endemic to an island. It is found close to sea level in humid lowland forest and mangrove forest. The type series was found in decaying fronds and associated moist litter near a ...
