It is endemic to Mexico where it is known from its type locality near Jitotol as well as a nearby site on the Mexican Plateau in the Chiapas state.[3] EtymologyThe specific name, alvarezdeltoroi, is in honor of Mexican herpetologist Miguel Álvarez del Toro.[2] DescriptionThe holotype of Thorius adelos (an adult male) measure {{convert|26.6|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length and has a {{convert|32.1|mm|abbr=on}} long tail. The dorsum and tail are a reddish brown with an irregular, obscure dorsal stripe. The limbs are orange. The snout is blunt with forward-pointing nostrils.[2] HabitatIts natural habitat is very moist cloud forest at elevations of {{convert|1200|-|1550|m|abbr=on}} asl. It has also been found at roadsides.[1] Conservation statusThis rare species is only known from very few specimens. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by expanding agriculture and human settlements as well as logging.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite journal | author = Parra-Olea, G. | author2 = Wake, D. | author3 = Hanken, J. | title = Cryptotriton alvarezdeltoroi | journal = The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume = 2008 | page = e.T59234A11904228 | publisher = IUCN | date = 2008 | url = http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/59234/0 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2008.RLTS.T59234A11904228.en | access-date = 19 December 2017}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q2212107}}2. ^1 2 {{cite journal |author=Papenfuss, T.
