Description
Nototriton (Nototriton) gamezi García-París & Wake, 2000
Monteverde moss salamander
Nototriton gamezi García-París & Wake (2000: 55).
Nototriton (Nototriton) gamezi: Dubois & Raffaëlli (2012: 141).
Holotype. MVZ 207122, by original designation, an adult female from Costa Rica: Provincia de Alajuela: Cantón de San Ramón: Distrito de Peñas Blancas: Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve: Carril Bosque Eterno at junction with Pantanosa Trail, 1600 m a.s.l. (N 10°19’, W 84°47.5’), collected by D. C. Cannatella, D. A. Good, W. Guindon, and D. B. Wake on 14 August 1987.
Etymology. The specific epithet is a patronym, used as a noun in the masculine genitive case, in dedication to Mr. Rodrigo Gámez, the first director of the Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad (García-París & Wake 2000).
Distribution. Nototriton gamezi is currently only known to inhabit the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve between roughly 1500–1600 masl, but following further exploration in the surrounding mountains its range will likely extend beyond the reserve.
