Comment

Most similar to Pseudoeurycea altamontana according to the original publication. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 210, provided a brief account, photograph, and map, who regarded it in the Pseudoeurycea gadovii group. Windfield-Pérez, Parra-Olea, and Hernández-Zárate, 2007, Rev. Mex. Biodivers., 78: 493-495, provided a record from a cave locality in the arid Tehuacan Valley of Puebla, Mexico.
