The genus  Chiropterotriton  is endemic to Mexico with a geographical distribution along the Sierra Madre Oriental, the Trans Mexican Volcanic Belt and the Sierra de Juárez. The recent use of molecular tools has shown that Mexico’s amphibian diversity is highly underestimated, including a large number of cryptic, unnamed species.  Chiropterotriton  has 18 described species including terrestrial, arboreal and cave-dwelling species. In previous molecular studies, the presence of multiple undescribed species was evident. We present a phylogenetic hypothesis based on mitochondrial data, which includes all described species and six undescribed taxa. Based on the morphological analyses and, when available, combined with molecular data, we describe five new species of the genus;  Chiropterotriton casasi  sp. nov.,  C. ceronorum  sp. nov.,  C. melipona  sp. nov.,  C. perotensis  sp. nov. and  C. totonacus  sp. nov. In addition, we redescribe two others:  Chiropterotriton chiropterus  and  C. orculus , and provide a comparable account of one additional sympatric congener. This increases the number of species in the genus to 23, which represent a considerable component of Mexican plethodontid richness.
