Scanning the December 2004 issue of Herpetologica, I came across an article describing a new species of plethodontid salamander. The species, Pseudoeurycea quetzalanensis, is found in the Siera Norte de Puebla region of Mexico. This species is similar to other salamanders found in the canopy of the rain forests in South and Central America and out known as cloud salamanders. The Cuetzalan salamander differs from other similar salamanders in that it is small, stout and has small feet.
