Comment
Weisrock, Papenfuss, Macey, Litvinchuk, Polymeni, Ugurtas, Zhao, Jowkar, and Larson, 2006, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 41: 855-857, found Salamandrina to be near-basal, either the sister taxon to Pleurodelinae or Salamandrinae, and they discussed evidentiary ambiguities. Zhang, Papenfuss, Wake, Qu, and Wake, 2008, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 49: 586-597, resolved the placement and regarding Salamandrina as the sister taxon of Pleurodelinae + Salamandrinae, although without recognizing these taxa formally. Dubois and Raffaëlli, 2009, Alytes, 26: 64, recognized it as the subfamily Salamandrininae, the sister taxon of an unnamed taxon composed of Salamandrinae + Pleurodelinae.
