Comment
In the Hynobius nebulosus species group, most similar to Hynobius leechii according to the original publication. See brief account by Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 46. Raffaëlli, 2013, Urodeles du Monde, 2nd ed.: 65, provided a brief account, photo, and map. Sparreboom, 2014, Salamanders Old World: 97–98, reviewed the biology, characteristics, distribution, reproduction, and conservation of the species. Min, Baek, Song, Chang, and Poyarkov, 2016, Zootaxa, 4169: 475–503, reported on this molecular phylogenetics of this and closely related species. Borzée and Min, 2021, Animals, 11 (187): 1–36, mapped the species and discussed relationships. Raffaëlli, 2022, Salamanders & Newts of the World: 87, 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 (1–359 m) in Rep. Korea. Borzée, 2024, Continental NE Asian Amph.: 173–177, provided a detailed account (distribution including a polygon map, habitat, ecology, conservation, photos of adults and larvae, identification tools) for northeastern Asia.
