Pseudoeurycea amuzga is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Mexico and known only from Sierra de Malinaltepec, a part of Sierra Madre del Sur in the Guerrero state.[1][3] Common name Sierra de Malinaltepec salamander has been introduced for this species.[3]
Its natural habitats are mixed montane forests at elevations of 1,645–1,740 m (5,397–5,709 ft) above sea level. It has been found under rocks, in holes, and under the bark of trees. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by small-scale farming and wood extraction.[1]
