对来自中国安徽省黄山的唇形厚螈种群的年龄和性别变化进行了研究。年龄/性别组之间似乎存在明显的形态差异。我们认为其中一些变化与生态和行为有关。对分类学上有问题的物种细粒厚螈（Pachytriton capsulosus）（= Pingia capsulosa）的模式产地和附近产地的蝾螈物种进行的检查表明，该分类单元与幼年唇蝾螈几乎没有区别。因此，我们得出结论，P. 细粒是 P. labiatus 的初级同义词。
Variation in relation to age and sex in a population of Pachytriton labiatus from Mt. Huangshan, Anhui Province, China was examined. There appeared to be distinct morphological variation among age/sex groups. We suggest that some of this variation is associated with ecology and behavior. Examination of the newt species from the type locality and nearby localities of Pachytriton granulosus (= Pingia granulosa), a taxonomically problematic species, revealed that this taxon was almost indistinguishable from juvenile P. labiatus. We therefore conclude that P. granulosus is a junior synonym of P. labiatus.
