Here is a breeding site for "highland form" H.nebulosus in Tottori pref.

Excellent!

(and what a surprise!)

Indeed, there are various forms of H.nebulosus, some of which may be classified in the future as distinct species.

Erik, do you mean to say you've been visiting Japan without looking me up?

If you're still around, I'd be happy to arrange a day trip to observe Onychodactylus japonicus and misc. hynobiids, as well as Cynops pyrrhogaster, in the Kanto or Tohoku areas. You can mail me at timtim@gol.com

I was just an hour's drive away from Tottori last week...

Sorry man, the thought crossed my mind, but I was on a tight schedule,working on a radio-telemetry project. Any animals we saw besides Andrias were just by accident really. I'll drop you an email

On second thought, that's pretty dark coloration for a H.nebulosus larvae. Maybe it's just the effect of the light but the ones I've raised have been much lighter. I would have guessed it's a Cynops pyrrhogaster larvae. And now I see you didn't identify it as a H.nebulosus larvae, just as a H.nebulosus breeding site. The plot thickens...
