Registros adicionales recientes, distribución potencial y notas sobre el hábitat y ecología de la salamandra saltarina negra Ixalotriton niger (Caudata: Plethodontidae)
The description of the black jumping salamander (Ixalotriton niger) was based on an adult female of the type locality referred as 12 km (7.5 mi) NW Berriozábal, Chiapas, Mexico, 1068 m altitude, collected on December 26, 1980 by Jerry D. Johnson (Wake and Johnson, 1989). Two decades later, in 2000, specimens of this species were recorded in the town (Parra-Olea et al., 2008; Lamoreux et al., 2014.). During the period 2001-2010, some research groups made several visits to the type locality in search of specimens of the species, without success, to the extent considered locally extinct. As a result of two research projects conducted in the study area during the period 2011-2013, we find additional specimens that represent recent records of the species both in the type locality, in two places very close to the town, as well as Tierra y Libertad.
