Thorius papaloae, commonly known as the Papalo minute salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Mexico and only known from one locality near the village of Concepción Pápalo in Sierra Juárez, Oaxaca.[1][2]
Its natural habitats are pine forests and cloud forests, where it is living under logs and stones, and in leaf-litter. Despite its small range, it is not particularly rare. However, its habitat is under threat from habitat loss caused by logging, human settlement, and cultivation of crops.[1]
