Bolitoglossa porrasorum is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the mountains of north-central Honduras. Common name Pijol salamander has been proposed for this species in reference to its type locality, Pico Pijol. The specific name porrasorum honors of Jorge Porras Ziuniga and Jorge Porras Orellana, father and son, who provided friendship and assistance to the describers of this species.

Description

Adult males measure Шаблон:Convert and adult females Шаблон:Convert in snout–vent length; females are more robust than the relatively slender males. The snout is truncate. The tail is long but usually shorter than the snout–vent length. The limbs are slender and moderately long. The digits are discrete, bluntly rounded, bearing well developed subdigital pads, and moderately webbed. Coloration is very variable. The dorsal coloration is usually some shade of brown with gold mottling or large darker blotches. The ventral surfaces range from brownish to brownish with pale spots to largely pale.

Habitat and conservation

Bolitoglossa porrasorum occur broadleaf cloud forest at elevations of Шаблон:Convert above sea level. They live in arboreal bromeliads, on low vegetation, and on the ground under rotten plant material. Breeding involves direct development (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage).

This species is locally abundant, but it is suspected to be decreasing because of habitat loss caused by agricultural development (including cattle ranching and coffee farming) and logging. It is present in the Pico Pijol National Park.
