just flicked through Amphibiaweb and apparently Salamandrella has been split into two species, S. keyserlingii and S. schrenckii. Can anyone give anymore information on this?
 
William, I read that in our Dutch Urodela newsletter too. The ancestor of the both species used to live 14 mil. years ago. They look the same, so it's a cryptic species once again.

S. schrenckii live in Primorsky District on the Russian Far East.
 
Hi Alexander, yes i found that a few weeks ago, it's an excellent resource! i'm currently digesting "The Phylosystematics of Salamanders"
