Comment
According to the original publication previously confused with both Hynobius quelpartensis and Hynobius leechii. Raffaëlli, 2022, Salamanders & Newts of the World: 85–86, provided an account, summarizing systematics, life history, population status, and distribution (including a polygon map). Andersen, Chuang, Choe, Kim, Kwon, Jang, and Borzée, 2022, Zool. Stud., Taipei, 61(25): 1–10, reported on the elevational range (16–241 m) in Rep. Korea. Borzée, 2024, Continental NE Asian Amph.: 177–181, provided a detailed account (distribution including a polygon map, habitat, ecology, conservation, photos of adults and larvae, identification tools) for northeastern Asia. Koo, Kim, Kim, and Im, 2023, Korean J. Herpetol., 13: 9–17, discussed difficulties in identifying this species via morphology alone.
