Comment
An unnamed species, the sister taxon of Onychodactylus kinneburi, from the Kinki Group of islands (Honshu, Japan) was noted in the original publication. Both this species and that one were previous confused with Onychodactylus japonicus. Raffaëlli, 2013, Urodeles du Monde, 2nd ed.: 49, provided a brief account, photo, and range map.
