Alberch's salamander (Bolitoglossa alberchi) is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Mexico and known from Veracruz, extreme eastern Oaxaca, and western and central Chiapas, from near sea level to 1,800 m (5,900 ft) asl.[2] Its natural habitats are tropical lowland forests. It also occurs along the edges of clearings and well-shaded plantations. It seems to be a fairly common species, although it is threatened by habitat loss caused by agriculture, wood extraction, and human settlement.[1]
