Cynops wolterstorffi (Boulenger, 1905)
Kunming Lake Newt, Yunnan Lake Newt Subgenus: Cynotriton | family: Salamandridae subfamily: Pleurodelinae genus: Cynops |
| Species Description: Boulenger, G. A. (1905)." Description of a new newt from Yunnan." Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 1905: 277. | |
|
Taxonomic Notes: This extinct species was placed in a monotypic genus Hypselotriton by Wolterstorff 1934, which was soon synonymized with Cynops by Chang, 1936. Dubois & Raffaelli 1009, 2012 Alytes, resurrected Hypselotriton and include all Chinese species of Cynops in it. Sparreboom 2014 uses Cynops for the Chinese species, which on molecular grounds forms a clade with the two Japanese species. |
