038E5A34FFC63342FF36FA17B6EEFE7E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: A moderate-sized species (mean adult SVL = 53.0 mm in male and 52.4 mm in female: Lai & Lue 2008) within the lotic breeding Hynobius, breeding in mountainous streams; dorsum dark brown with yellow to yellowish brown spots or dots; limbs and tail short; tips of fore- and hindlimbs adpressed on body scarcely meeting (separation of - 3.0 costal folds in male and - 3.0 to - 2.5 in female); no fifth toe in external view (analysis of phalangeal elements of skeleton pending); ova large, pigmentless; egg sacs long and string-like, lighter longitudinal stripes than H. formosanus, without distinct whiptail structure on free end (Kakegawa et al. 1989); most similar to H. fuca among Taiwanese species, but with larger and more robust body, and larger markings (H. fuca has white dots); distinctly different from parapatric H. formosanus in having smaller markings and shorter limbs and H. glacialis in having smaller body and shorter limbs and tail.	en	Nishikawa, Kanto, Ju, Yu-Ten, Jheng, Sheng-Wun, Lin, You-Zhu, Hara, Sotaro, Lai, June-Shiang, Lin, Si-Min, Lue, Kuang-Yang (2021): Taxonomic clarification and neotype designation of two Taiwanese salamanders (Amphibia, Urodela, Hynobiidae).
