Pseudoeurycea leprosa
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Pseudoeurycea leprosa is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae, endemic to Mexico. The species of Pseudoeurycea Leprosa are primarily distributed across Northern and central Mexico, with new species continually emerging that share genetic similarities with preexisting ones. Research scientists discovered these similarities by analyzing the base pairs of various Pseudoeurycea species from different regions of Mexico.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. Pseudoeurycea leprosa exhibited extensive genetic divergence between its eastern and central populations due to habitat isolation. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Leprous False Brook Salamander sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 10th most-seen of the 10 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Leprous False Brook Salamander in Mexico City on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Mexico City, in our data
Mexico City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Leprous False Brook Salamander sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leprous False Brook Salamander is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Mexico City (7 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
