The pygmy splayfoot salamander (Chiropterotriton lavae), also known as the pygmy flat-footed salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the central-western Veracruz state, Mexico.[3] Its natural habitats are pine-oak and cloud forests at about 1,200 m (3,900 ft) altitude. It lives in bromeliads. It is threatened by severe habitat loss caused by logging and mining.[1]
