PERSONAL NOTES:
In the unseasonably dry May of 2003, I found a single individual of Pseudoeurycea cephalica cephalica near Las Vigas, Veracruz. It was along the highway beneath a small piece of bark laying on the grass (obviously a temporary shelter found in passing). There was no coincidence that this salamander was found within a very narrow zone of pine forest that was shrouded in dense clouds – the regions just uphill and downhill from this locality were “bone” dry and very hot. It was a juvenile and despite searching the adjacent habitat no additional salamanders were found.
