Pseudoeurycea werleri is a salamander in the family Plethodontidae (order Caudata), recorded as Endangered.

Range and habitat
It is endemic to the Sierra de los Tuxtlas range in southern Veracruz state, Mexico. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by subsistence agriculture, logging, and human settlement.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Salamanders hide under logs, in seeps, or in caves. They do not commute across a dry valley.
Eggs and damp skin make amphibians quick to vanish from a drained wetland or a forest stripped of litter.
In crisis
Salamanders disappear when seeps are capped, caves are disturbed, or a pathogen moves through a mountain range.
