Holotype. SMF 79408, by original designation, an adult female from Nicaraugua: Región Autónoma Atlático Norte: southern slope of the Cerro Saslaya, 1371 m a.s.l., collected by Gunther Köhler on 12 July 1999 ( Köhler 2002).

Etymology. The specific epithet is a noun in apposition and was chosen in reference to the type locality and mountain where the type series of the species was collected and where it is probably restricted ( Köhler 2002).

Distribution. Nototriton saslaya is currently only known to inhabit two small patches of cloud forest within Saslaya National Park in north-central Nicaragua, Cerro Saslaya and Cerro El Torro, 1280 to 1370 m.a.s.l. ( Köhler 2011).
