Bolitoglossa insularis Sunyer, Lotzkat, Hertz, Wake, Aléman, Robleto & Köhler 2008

Bolitoglossa insularis is a moderately large, robust salamander (female SVL 64.7 mm). The snout is rounded dorsally, with prominent labial protuberances. The head is narrow, flat, and slightly demarcated. Eyes are moderate in size, protrude slightly, and are visible beyond the jaw margin when observed from below. This salamander has an indistinct postorbital groove, a defined subocular groove, and a distinct gular fold that extends dorsolaterally to lower level of eye, but lacks a sublingual fold. A groove located posterior to the mandible appears as a weakly defined depression anterior to the gular fold. Maxillary teeth (41) reach eye level and vomerine teeth (23) reach the choanae. Limbs are relatively slender and long; adpressed limb separation is about 3.5 costal folds. Digits of hands and feet are rounded and fully webbed but lack subdigital pads. Fingers increase in length from I

Bolitoglossa insularis is found on the premontane slopes of Volcán Maderas on Ometepe Island, southwestern Nicaragua. It is known only from the type locality in pristine premontane moist forest, at 800 m asl (Wake et al. 2008).

Presumed direct developer as is the case for other members of the genus Bolitoglossa. The holotype was found in a thin branch of a bush, 1.5 m above ground level. At the time it was found there was no rain but it was cloudy with occasional fog.

Bolitoglossa insularis is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Nicaragua. Its habitat includes premontane moist forests.
