Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Speleomantes ambrosii by Nascetti, Cimmaruta, Lanza, and Bullini, 1996, J. Herpetol., 30: 161-183, where it had been placed by Lanza, Nascetti, and Bullini, 1982, Boll. Zool., Padua, 49 (Suppl.): 103. See account by Bruno, 1973, Natura, Milano, 64: 385. See comment under Speleomantes ambrosii with which it has been confused in much literature. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 314-1, provided a brief account, photograph, and map. Lanza, Pastorelli, Laghi, and Cimmaruta, 2006 "2005", Atti Mus. Civ. Stor. Nat. Trieste, 52 (Suppl.): 5-135, provided a review. See detailed account for the Italian population by Lanza, Pastorelli, Laghi, and Cimmaruta, 2007, in Lanza et al. (eds.), Fauna d'Italia, 42 (Amph.): 152-156.
