A new salamander belonging to the genus Nototriton, subgenus Nototriton, is described from the Caribbean slopes of the southeastern Cordillera de Talamanca in Costa Rica, within Parque Internacional La Amistad, at an elevation ca. 1500 m a.s.l. This new taxon is distinguished from its congeners by its morphological characteristics and by its differentiation in DNA sequences of the 16S rRNA, cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI), and cytochrome b mitochondrial genes. This new species represents the southernmost extension known for the genus Nototriton.
在哥斯达黎加塔拉曼卡山脉东南部的加勒比山坡,位于海拔约1500米的国际友谊公园内,描述了一种属于Nototriton属、Nototriton亚属的新蝾螈。这个新分类单元通过其形态特征以及16S rRNA、细胞色素氧化酶亚基I(COI)和细胞色素b线粒体基因的DNA序列差异与同属其他物种相区分。这个新物种代表了Nototriton属已知的最南端分布范围。
