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).
