Comment

Sugawara, Fujiwara, Azuma, Sugawara, Kuraishi, and Nagano, 2023, Am. J. Zool., 6: 26–45, partitioned on the basis of mtDNA phylogenetics and comparative morphology former Hynobius lichenatus into three species, with Hynobius unanngso for the southern part of the former range, Hynobius senzanensis for the central part, and restricted the name Hynobius lichenatus to the northern part of the former distribution. See Hynobius lichenatus record for older literature which should be used with caution.
