Nototriton barbouri is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Honduras.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Nototriton barbouri is often referred to by its common name, the Yoro Moss Salamander. N. Barbouri's habitat includes packed leaf litter, rotten logs, abandoned hummingbird nests, and inside bromeliads during the daytime. At nighttime, they actively forage on the branches of small trees and shrubs (J. Townsend, 2016).[2]
