Comment
Kuzmin and Thiesmeier, 2001, Adv. Amph. Res. Former Soviet Union, 6: 1-184, revised and reviewed the entire genus (including Liua in his sense). Fei, Ye, Huang, Jiang, and Xie, 2005, Illust. Key Chinese Amph.: 32, 35 provided a key to the species of Pseudohynobius and Ranodon. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, suggested a phylogenetic placement of the genus.
