Pseudoeurycea saltator is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the state of Oaxaca in Mexico and is known only from the northern slopes of the Sierra de Juarez above Vista Hermosa. Its natural habitat is evergreen cloud forest at elevations of about 1,500 to 2,000 metres above sea level, roughly 4,900 to 6,600 feet. The salamander is primarily arboreal and lives in bromeliads, although it can sometimes be found on the ground or under logs and bark. The species is threatened by loss of its habitat as agriculture expands and as forest is logged.
