Bolitoglossa
''Bolitoglossa'' is a genus of lungless salamanders, also called tropical climbing salamanders or web-footed salamanders, in the family Plethodontidae. Their range is Central and South America: Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, northeastern Brazil, and central Bolivia. These arboreal and terrestrial, Neotropical salamanders of the ''Bolitoglossa'' genus make up the largest genus in the order Caudata consisting of approximately one-fourth of all known species of salamanders. Adult salamanders range anywhere from 45mm to 200mm in length depending on their specific species.〔Alberch, Pere. "Convergence and Parallelism in Foot Morphology of the Neotropical Salamander Genus Bolitoglossa." Evolution 35.1 (1981): 84-100.〕 They are notorious for their webbed feet, as indicated from their name, and have significantly more webbing than any other species outside their genus with the exception of the Cave-dwelling Mexican Bolitoglossine ''Chiropterotriton magnipes''.〔("Jaekel, Martin, and David Wake. "Developmental processes underlying the evolution of a derived foot morphology in salamanders." PNAS 104.51 (2007): 20437-20442." )〕 Although webbed feet are a common characteristic of these salamanders, only about half of the species in this genus contain webbed feet.〔
