This taxon is found in the Panamanian dry forests, but not necessarily limited to this ecoregion. The Panamanian dry forests ecoregion occupies approximately 2000 square miles of coastal and near-coastal areas on the Pacific versant of Panama, around portions of the Gulf of Panama. Plant endemism is intermediate, and vertebrate species richness is quite high in the Panamanian dry forests.This key ecoregion is highly threatened from its extensive ongoing exploitation. Beyond the endemism and species richness, the ecoregion is further significant, since it offers a biological corridor from the moist forests to the coastal mangroves.
Plant endemism is intermediate in value within the Panamanian dry forests, likely elevated due to the (a) isolation of this ecoregion from the surrounding and intervening moist forest habitat; (b) arid conditions which likely enhanced speciation and hence species richness; and (c) absence of prehistoric glaciation, which has extinguished many species in more extreme latitudes.
Many of the plants are well adapted to herbivory defense through such morphologies as spiny exteriors and other features. Forest canopies are typically less than twenty meters, with a few of the highest species exceeding that benchmark. Caesalpinia coriaria is a dominant tree in the Azuero Peninsula portion of the dry forests, while Lozania pittieri is a dominant tree in the forests near Panama City. The vegetative palette is well adapted to the dry season, where water is a precious commodity.
Faunal species richness is high in the Panamanian dry forests, as in much of Mesoamerica, with a total of 519 recorded vertebrates alone within the Panamanian dry forests. Special status reptiles in the Panamanian dry forests include the AmericanCrocodile (Crocodylus acutus), the Lower Risk/Near Threatened Brown Wood Turtle (Rhinoclemmys annulata), the Lower Risk/Near Threatened Common Caiman (Caiman crocodilus), the Lower Risk/Near Threatened Common Slider (Trachemys scripta), and the Critically Endangered Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). There are two special status amphibian in the ecoregion: the Critically endangered plantation Glass Frog (Hyalinobatrachium colymbiphyllum) and the Vulnerable Camron mushroom-tongued salamander (Bolitoglossa lignicolor).
Threatened mammals found in the Panamanian dry forests include the: Endangered Central American Spider Monkey (Ateles geoffroyi), the Vulnerable Giant Anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), the Near Threatened Handley’s Tailless Bat (Anoura cultrata), the Vulnerable Lemurine Night Monkey (Aotus lemurinus), the Near Threatened Margay (Leopardus wiedii), the Near Threatened Yellow Isthmus Rat (Isthmomys flavidus), the Near Threatened White-lipped Peccary (Tayassu pecari), and the Near Threatened Spectral Bat (Vampyrum spectrum). There are two special status bird species occurring in the ecoregion: the Endangered Great Green Macaw (Ara ambiguus) and the Near Threatened Olive-sided Flycatcher (Contopus cooperi).

Bolitoglossa lignicolor est une espèce d'urodèles de la famille des Plethodontidae[1].
Cette espèce se rencontre dans le Sud-Ouest du Costa Rica et au Panama dans les régions adjacentes ainsi que dans la péninsule d'Azuero et sur l'île Coiba. Elle est présente du niveau de la mer jusqu'à 880 m d'altitude[1].
Bolitoglossa lignicolor mesure de 76 à 160 mm dont la moitié environ pour la queue[2]. Sans la queue, les mâles mesurent de 47 à 68 mm et les femelles de 46 à 81 mm. Son dos est brun avec de larges stries claires toutefois il existe des individus entièrement bruns. Son ventre, brun chocolat, présente de grandes taches claires.
Spelerpes punctatum[3] a été placée en synonymie avec Bolitoglossa lignicolor par Wake in Thireau en 1986[4], Oedipus ahli[5] par Dunn en 1940[6] et Bolitoglossa palustris[7] par Brame et Wake en 1963[8].

Bolitoglossa lignicolor is een salamander uit de familie longloze salamanders (Plethodontidae). De soort werd voor het eerst wetenschappelijk beschreven door Wilhelm Peters in 1873. Oorspronkelijk werd de wetenschappelijke naam Spelerpes (Oedipus) lignicolor gebruikt.[2]
Bolitoglossa lignicolor bereikt een maximale lichaamslengte van circa 70 millimeter met een gemiddelde van 54 mm bij mannelijke salamanders en 46 mm bij vrouwelijke dieren.
De salamander komt voor in delen van Midden-Amerika en leeft in de landen Costa Rica en Panama.[3] Bolitoglossa lignicolor is een ongewone tot algemene soort in de Pacifische laaglandregenwouden tot 880 meter hoogte boven zeeniveau van zuidwestelijk Costa Rica en westelijk Panama. Het verspreidingsgebied in Costa Rica loopt van Nationaal park Manuel Antonio naar het Osa-schiereiland en de Golfo Dulce-regio. In dit gebied komt Bolitoglossa lignicolor samen voor met Bolitoglossa colonnea, een algemene salamandersoort uit de laaglandgebieden van Costa Rica en Panama. In Panama leeft Bolitoglossa lignicolor in de provincie Chiriquí, Ngöbe-Buglé, het Azuero-schiereiland en het eiland Coiba.[4]
