Abstract: GenusHypselotritonWolterstorff, 1934 Type species. Molge wolterstorffi Boulenger, 1905, by original designation. Common name. Chinese Fire-bellied Newts (in English) / diān yuán shǔ (滇螈属 in Chinese). Distribution. Endemic in mainland China. Remark. In spite of the paraphyletic relationships and distinct geographical isolation, species of the mainland genus Hypselotriton are very similar to those of insular genus Cynops in morphology, resulting in the prolonged categorising of these Fire-bellied Newts in a single genus. Hypselotriton can be distinguished from Cynops by the inconspicuous parotoid gland (vs. well developed) and smooth or slightly granular skin (vs. distinctly granular).
