INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO
  • date of photo  Feb 2016
  • location   Nanlingshan, southeastern China (China)
  • family Salamandridae
  • order Caudata
  • class Amphibia
  • notes   This species was described a few days after Pachytriton changi, but with exact locality data from specimens collected by Wu. Nishikawa et al. (2013, Current Herpetology 32: 150-158) argue that P. xanthospilos should be considered a junior synonym of P. changi. However, Wu and Murphy (2015 Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 92: 108-117) recognize P. xanthospilos, arguing that it differs from the generally unknowable P. changi.
