Pseudoeurycea tenchalli (common name: bearded salamander, in Spanish tlaconete con barba) is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Cerro Teotepec (Sierra Madre del Sur) in Guerrero state, Mexico.[2]
Pseudoeurycea tenchalli is terrestrial salamander that lives in pine-oak forests (altitude about 2,650 m (8,690 ft) asl), hiding in logs and other debris. There is some logging in its remote but small distribution area that constitutes a threat to this little-known species.[1]
