Comment
See comments under Tylototriton asperrimus. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 148-149, provided a brief account, figure, and map. Nguyn, Nguyn, H, Lê, and Nguyn, 2009, Tp chí Công ngh Sinh hc, 7: 325-333, discussed the species and its distinctiveness from Tylototriton hainanensis. Stuart, Phimmachak, Sivongxay, and Robichaud, 2010, Zootaxa, 2650: 30, suggested that nominal Tylototriton vietnamensis may include more than one species.
