Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Scutiger glandulatus, by Fu, Lathrop, and Murphy, 1997, Asiat. Herpetol. Res., 7: 32-37, where it had been placed by Liu and Hu, 1961, Tailless Amph. China: 110. See account by Ye, Fei, and Hu, 1993, Rare and Economic Amph. China 138. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 2: 231, retained this taxon as a synonym of Scutiger glandulatus, but did not address the evidence of Fu, Lathrop, and Murphy, 1997, Asiat. Herpetol. Res., 7: 32-37.
