Are hibrid males and females of T. marmoratus x T.cristatus fertile?
 
This post belongs in the Newt and Salamander Discussion Forum, u will get better feedback there.
 
Hi Xavier,
Yes they are. Where these two species ranges overlap in France, they do hybridise naturally, but they are less fertile than the parents.
They were once thought to be a separate species.
There is an image of an "Adult (male). Hybrid Triturus cristatus carnifex X Triturus marmoratus (hybrid Triturus cristatus male X Triturus marmoratus was described as a new species, Triturus blasii De l'Isle, 1862)." taken by Paolo Mazzei on his site: http://herp.it
 
Thank you very much four your information.

Xavier
