Pseudoeurycea bellii bellii – Gray 1850

IDENTIFICATION:
DISTRIBUTION:
Pseudoeurycea bellii bellii, the widest-ranging species in the genus, is found at elevations greater than 4,000′ (to about 12,000′+) throughout south-central Mexico. It occurs as far west as Nayarit (and almost certainly Durango), as far south as central Guerrero, east to Volcan Orizaba in Veracruz and as far north as the Sierra Guatemala of Tamaulipas. Eventually this species may be found farther north in the Sierra Madre Oriental of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon or even Coahuila.

PERSONAL NOTES:
With the help of some Nuevo Mexicanos, I was able to see this species in southwest Mexico at around 6,500′ elevation. Conditions were dry, and the Durango Variable showed me the fine art of excavating bellii from 2′ of pine needle duff within a karstic limestone outcrop.
