ISTHMURA RAFFAËLLI & DUBOIS, 2012
Type species: Spelerpes bellii Gray, 1850 . Diagnosis: Large to very large black salamanders, usually boldly marked with segmentally arranged segments of red or red-orange to pinkish coloration; slight interdigital webbing with well-developed fifth toe.
Assigned taxa: Isthmura bellii (Gray, 1850) , new comb.; Isthmura boneti (Alvarez & Martín, 1967) , new comb.; Isthmura gigantea (Taylor, 1939) , new comb.; Isthmura maxima (Parra-Olea, García-París, Papenfuss & Wake, 2005), new comb.; Isthmura naucampatepetl (Parra- Olea, Papenfuss & Wake, 2001), new comb.; Isthmura sierraoccidentalis (Lowe, Jones & Wright, 1968) , new comb. The last taxon is raised to full species status on the basis of its different ecology and distribution, and extreme reduction of reddish coloration.
