Pseudoeurycea ahuitzotl, commonly known as the imperial salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Mexico and only known from its type locality, Cerro Teotepec (Sierra Madre del Sur) in Guerrero, at about 2,000 m (6,600 ft) asl.[1][2] It is known from open fir-pine-oak forest with bunchgrass. It seems to require fallen logs for hiding at the daytime.[1]
