The Yarumal climbing salamander ("Bolitoglossa vallecula") is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. Used alone, the term "vallecula" usually refers to the epiglottic vallecula. The epiglottis and vallecula are important anatomical landmarks in intubation. The space between the epiglottis and the tongue is called the vallecula. The vallecula is an important reference landmark used during intubation of the trachea.
