  • With the Discovery of a New Species of Oedipina from the Foothills Along
    With the discovery of a new species of Oedipina from the foothills along the Caribbean versant of Costa Rica (see the following article), the number of species of salamanders in the country has risen to 51. When compared to other countries, this diversity of salamanders places Costa Rica 5th among all countries on the planet, behind the United States (1st), Mexico (2nd), China (3rd), and Guatemala (4th). When considering countries with an area greater than 5,000 km2, the highest diversity density of salamanders is found in the small country of Costa Rica, with one species/1,000 km2. Data calculated by Brian Kubicki from information on AmphibiaWeb (www.amphibiaweb.org) and Wikipedia (www. wikipedia.org).

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: I describe a new salamander of the genus Oedipina, subgenus Oedopinola, from two sites in Premontane Rainforest along the foothills of the central Caribbean region of Costa Rica, at elevations from 540 to 850 m. The type locality lies within the Guayacán Rainforest Reserve, a private reserve owned and operated by the Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center, located approximately 2 km north of Guayacán de Siquirres, in the province of Limón. The new taxon is distinguished from its congeners based on phenotypic and molecular (16S and cyt b) characteristics.
