Pseudoeurycea mixcoatl, commonly known as brown-streaked salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Mexico.[2]
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The species' specific descriptor is named after Mixcoatl, a pre-Columbian deity figure among a number of central Mexican cultures such as the Otomi and Nahua. The Classical Nahuatl word mixcōātl has the meaning of "cloud serpent".
