Research Abstract

In order to evaluate species diversity and phylogenetic evolution in hynobiidae and salamandridae in Chinese continent, field surveys were conducted in Sichuan, Zhejiang, Henan, Fujiang Provinces, and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that there were still many taxonomic problems in the two families in China and we found several synonyms and new species. We further found new biogeographic information on them.
