Comment
Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 3: 1604-1608, provided an account , figures, and range map. Nishikawa, Jiang, Matsui, Mo, Chen, Kim, Tominaga, and Yoshikawa, 2010, Zootaxa, 2426: 65-67, suggested that this species is the sister taxon of Hynobius chinensis. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 46, provided a brief account including photographs of specimens and habitat. Qing, Wang, Zeng, Chen, and Hou, 2008, Herpetol. J., 18: 129-135, reported on the karyotype. Xiong, Liu, and Zeng, 2011, Asian Herpetol. Res., Ser. 2, 2: 87-90, reported an internasal bone (the putative synapomorphy of Protohynobiinae) in this species. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2012, Colored Atlas Chinese Amph. Distr.: 40–41, provided an account, photographs, and map for China. Sparreboom, 2014, Salamanders Old World: 76–77, reviewed the biology, characteristics, distribution, reproduction, and conservation of the species. See account by Fei and Ye, 2016, Amph. China, 1: 167–168. Raffaëlli, 2022, Salamanders & Newts of the World: 79, provided an account, summarizing systematics, life history, population status, and distribution (including a polygon map).
