根据分子和形态学数据，描述了越南北方下江省和曹邦省蝾螈属的一个新种。新物种在形态上不同于所有已知的同类物种，它们具有以下特征：微黑的身体颜色;中等大小的身体;明显粗糙的皮肤;结节状的脊椎嵴;结节状的肋骨结节;大眼睛;和低而窄的尾巴。本文简要讨论了越南疣螈属植物的分布格局。
A new species of the salamandrid genus Tylototriton is described from Ha Giang and Cao Bang provinces, northern Vietnam, based on molecular and morphological data. The new species differs morphologically from all known congeners in the combination of blackish body coloration; medium-sized body; distinctly rough skin; tubercular vertebral ridge; knob-like rib nodules; large eye; and low, narrow tail. The distribution pattern of species of Tylototriton in Vietnam is briefly discussed.
