Cryptotriton nasalis (Dunn 1924)

Cryptotriton nasalis is a generally dark brown salamander, usually with pale brown coloration along the dorsal surface of the limbs and tail. Enlarged nostril openings, well-developed labial protuberances and a broadly rounded snout are also observed in this species. A slightly constricted tail, with slender, relatively long limbs. Usually displaying one and a half to three costal folds between adpressed limbs in males, and two and a half to three and a half costal folds between females.This account was based on the description found in (McCranie and Wilson 2002). After much speculation about the distinctiveness of Cryptotriton wakei, it was formally synonomized with C. nasalis by McCranie and Rovito (2014).

This species can be found within moderate to intermediate elevations (1220 to 2200 meters) of northwestern Honduras in the Sierra de Omoa and likely adjacent Guatemala.
