Abstract
We report an adult male specimen of the salamander Ambystoma rosaceum from the oak forest and grassland habitats in the Sierra Fría located in the Municipality of San José de Gracia, Aguascalientes, México. This specimen represents the first state record of A. rosaceum for Aguascalientes and extends the known distribution of the species through the southern portion of the Sierra Madre Occidental.
