I've tried to stay out of this, but...

11. Salamandra corsica
20. Hynobius dunni
27. Ommatriton ophryticus
31. Hynobius tsuensis
32. Notophthalmus viridescens
35. Paramesotriton caudopunctatus
37. Proteus anguinus
39. Salamandra s. terrestris, orange form

 

[william]

lol, join in Jen!

Will

 

[jeff]

37. P. brevipes?

 

[william]

no, 37 has been identified, the olm.

an updated square:

if these last ones are too hard, i'll post a few clues.

 

[sergé]

Up to me and I'll just go for all Salamandra that sounds (I have difficulties to see anything else soemtimes

:
11: Salamandra salamandra terrestris
39 Salamandra salamandra gigliolii
43 Salamandra salamandra bernadezi
Am i close??????

 

[jennifer]

Is there any rule here that the same species cannot be used twice? Knowing William's taste in salamanders, I must propose...

10. Ambystoma opacum (juvenile or color variant)
16. Ambystoma opacum (juvenile or color variant)
21. Ambystoma opacum (juvenile or color variant)

And more guesses:

20. Hynobius tokyoensis
43. Paramesotriton chinensis

Are you sure that 35 isn't a caudopunctatus belly? I felt sure I had nailed that one! Another possibility:

35. Salamandrina terdigitata

[christian]

hehe, William made a good old game active on Caudata

 

[william]

both of you are wrong, however Jen, going on my salamander taste, may knock a few more off!

oh yeah no species has been used twice...

 

[william]

just for a little help:

Of the 12 species yet to identify, 1 is Rhyacotritonidae, 1 is Hynobiidae, 1 is Plethodontidae, 4 are Ambystomatidae, 5 are Salamandridae.

Of the 12, 3 are Asian, 7 are North American and 2 are European.

Of the 12, 1 is an unusual colour morph, 1, is slightly out of the ordinary, 1 is a juvenile, 2 are in breeding dress and 7 are normal.

Of the 12, 3 are pics of tails, 2 are in the head region, 1 is in the tail/abdomen area and 6 are of the body.
