Comment
Similar to Paramesotriton guanxiensis according to the original publication. See accounts by Thorn and Raffaëlli, 2000, Salamand. Ancien Monde: 326-328, and Zhang and Wen, 2000, Amph. Guangxi: 29. Lu, Yuan, Pang, Yang, Yu, McGuire, Xie, and Zhang, 2004, Biochem. Genet., 42: 139-148, provided molecular data in support of the distinctiveness of this species. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 131, provided a brief account, figure, and map. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 605. Gu, Wang, Chen, Tian, and Li, 2012, Zootaxa, 3150: 59-68, suggested that this species is closely related to Paramesotriton guangxiensis.
