abstract = {Sixteen new species of salamanders are described from the highlands of Guatemala: Bolitoglossa centenorum sp. n.; B. daryorum sp. n.; B. eremia sp. n.; B. huehuetenanguensis sp. n.; B. kaqchikelorum sp. n.; B. la sp. n.; B. ninadormida sp. n.; B. nussbaumi sp. n.; B. nympha sp. n.; B. pacaya sp. n.; B. psephena sp. n.; B. suchitanensis sp. n.; B. tzultacaj sp. n.; B. xibalba sp. n.; Dendrotriton chujorum sp. n.; and D. kekchiorum sp. n. A neotype for B. morio (Cope, 1869) is designated and B. omniumsanctorum Stuart (1952) is resurrected from the synonymy of
B. morio. Examination of material in the University of Texas at Arlington collections reveals previously unknown species occurring from near the Mexican border in the west across the Guatemalan Plateau and southeastern highlands to the Honduras and El Salvador borders in the east. These new salamanders are members of the genera Dendrotriton
and Bolitoglossa. We describe species from at least three subgenera of Bolitoglossa, with emphasis on the B. morio group within Magnadigita. These new species are distinguished from their congeners by morphology, including elements of color pattern. We provide a phylogeny for many of the Middle American species based on molecular differences. We collected the material discussed herein during the last 40 years. Unfortunately, the type-localities for many of these salamanders are now badly degraded.}
