Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 3: 1616-1620, provided an account , figures, and range map. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 90, provided a brief account including photographs. Gu, Wang, Chen, Tian, and Li, 2012, Zootaxa, 3150: 59-68, transferred this species to Allomesotriton, the former Paramesotriton caudopunctatus group.
