Three new species of the salamander genus Hynobius (Amphibia, Urodela, Hynobiidae) from Kyushu, Japan.
Three new species of lotic breeding Hynobius, formerly assigned to H. boulengeri, are described from the Kyushu region, southwestern Japan. They differ from all the known congeners by a unique combination of body size, character ratios, coloration, mtDNA, and allozymic characteristics. Together with H. stejnegeri they form a clade, which is not a sister group of H. boulengeri, and their speciat...
متن کاملMorphological characteristics of the lateral line receptors of Hynobius leechii (Urodela: Hynobiidae).
Morphological characteristics of the lateral line receptors, specifically the superficial neuromast, the pit organ, and the ampullary organ, are described and compared among larval, metamorphosed, and both female and male adult Hynobius leechii. The distribution and morphologies of the lateral line receptors are similar to those of other urodeles. During the transition from a larval to an adult...
متن کاملA new species of salamander of the genus Hynobius from Central Honshu, Japan (Amphibia, Urodela).
We describe a small salamander from south Central Honshu, Japan, as a new species, Hynobius katoi. The genetic distances between this species and several named species, including sympatric H. kimurae, derived from allozyme data from a starch gel electrophoresis, proved to be sufficiently large to differentiate it at a specific rank. Distribution of this species is confined to the montane region...
متن کاملGenetic structure and cryptic diversity of Onychodactylus japonicus (Amphibia, Caudata, Hynobiidae) in northeastern Honshu, Japan, as revealed by allozymic analysis.
We conducted a comprehensive allozymic analysis of 393 specimens of the Japanese clawed salamander, Onychodactylus japonicus, from 33 populations of northeastern Honshu, Japan. As a result, these populations exhibited extensive geographic genetic differentiation, and four major genetic groups (N-Tohoku, S-Tohoku, Tsukuba, and SW-Honshu groups) were consistently recognized. Of these, the Tsukuba...
متن کاملA new species of lentic breeding Korean salamander of the genus Hynobius (Amphibia, Urodela).
A new species of salamander, Hynobius yangi, is described from Kori (=Hyoam-ri), Busan-shi, southeastern Korea. It is a lentic breeder belonging to the H. nebulosus species group, and has long been confused with another Korean species H. leechii. The new species, however, is genetically substantially differentiated from Korean and Japanese relatives. Hynobius yangi is morphologically very simil...
