Guizhou salamander
The Guizhou salamander is a species of salamander in the family Hynobiidae. This recently described species is so far known only from its type locality, Yanxia Village in Guiding County in Guizhou; it is endemic to China. Adult salamanders measure in total length.
The original species description relied on morphological characteristics only. Genetic methods, however, have confirmed the Guizhou salamander is a valid species. According to the original description, it is most similar to the Kuankuoshui salamander and the yellow-spotted salamander ; genetic data suggest the Jinfo Mountain salamander to be its close relative too.
