Pseudoeurycea Kuautli
''Pseudoeurycea'' is a genus of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. The members of this genus are commonly known as the false brook salamanders. They are found in Mexico and Guatemala. In order to preserve ''Ixalotriton'' and ''Bolitoglossa'' while avoiding paraphyly of ''Pseudoeurycea'', species in the former "''Pseudoeurycea bellii'' species group" have been moved to the genus ''Isthmura'', and those in the former "''Pseudoeurycea cephalica'' species group" to ''Aquiloeurycea''.

Pseudoeurycea Mystax
''Pseudoeurycea mystax'' is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Mexico and only known from the area of its type locality in the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca near Ayutla, Oaxaca. Its common name is mustache false brook salamander or mustached false brook salamander. The specific name refers to the whitish protuberances on the lips that resemble a mustache in the frontal view of the male holotype. Description The type series consists of two specimens, the male holotype measuring and the female allotype in snout–vent length. The tail is shorter than the body, with total lengths of about for the two specimens, respectively. The limbs are moderately short and stout. The dorsum is gray in its ground color with faint traces of pink especially on the snout, and with scattered black dots. The tail has some conspicuous, large white blotches. Habitat and conservation Its natural habitat are pine–oak and '' Arbutus'' forests at elevations of about ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pseudoeurycea Cochranae
''Pseudoeurycea cochranae'' is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the Sierra Madre del Sur and Sierra Madre de Oaxaca of central and west-central Oaxaca, Mexico. Etymology The specific name ''cochranae'' honors Doris Mable Cochran, an American herpetologist. Habitat Its natural habitats are pine and pine-oak forests at elevations of above sea level. It is a terrestrial salamander that hides under bark and in leaf-litter. It tolerates some degree of habitat disturbance and is sometimes found in rural gardens and selectively logged lots.

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. Habitat and conservation Natural habitats of ''Pseudoeurycea melanomolga'' are pine forests and bunch grass above the tree line, at elev ...

Pseudoeurycea Lynchi
''Pseudoeurycea lynchi'', commonly known as the Veracruz green salamander, is a species of salamanders in the family Plethodontidae.

(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 Lineola
''Pseudoeurycea lineola'', commonly known as the Veracruz worm salamander or Mexican slender salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the eastern slope of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt near Cuautlapan, in the west-central Veracruz, Mexico, at elevations of above sea level. Molecular evidence suggests that it consists of two distinct species. It was the type species of genus ''Lineatriton''. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length. The average tail length is for males and females, respectively. The males have white (unpigemented) testes and vasa deferentia. Habitat and conservation Natural habitats of ''Pseudoeurycea lineola'' are pine-oak forests, but it can also survive in shaded coffee plantations. It is a terrestrial species found beneath stones, logs and other debris, and in subterranean situations.

Pseudoeurycea Goebeli
''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.

The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby .... References 2. Mathew Smita, Oommen V. Oommen, M.
