WINDFIELD-PEREZ, Juan Carlos; PARRA-OLEA, Gabriela  and  HERNANDEZ-ZARATE, Lisbeth. Record of Pseudoeurycea mixteca (Caudata: Plethodontidae) in a cave of Tehuacán, Puebla. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2007, vol.78, n.2, pp.493-495. ISSN 2007-8706.

Adult organisms of Pseudoeurycea mixteca were found in a cave of about 80 meters deep at a xerophile vegetation in the Tehuacan Valley, Puebla. The specimens were located under stones in humid sand. Previous reports of this species were from pine-oak forest in northwestern Oaxaca, living under the bark of logs or inside rotten logs. This new record increases the known distribution of the species and habitat type.

Keywords : Plethodontidae; Pseudoeurycea; fossorial; Tehuacán; Puebla.
