Wikipedia Abstract

Parvimolge townsendi, the Townsend's dwarf salamander, is a salamander in the family Plethodontidae, the lungless salamanders. It is monotypic within the genus Parvimolge, although this may yet change as molecular data suggest that it is embedded within a paraphyletic Pseudoeurycea. Parvimolge townsendi is endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental in central and southern Veracruz, Mexico.
