Yaotriton ziegleri (Nishikawa, Matsui, and Nguyen, 2013)

Tylototriton ziegleri, also known as Ziegler's crocodile newt[4] or Ziegler's knobby newt,[3] is a species of newt in the family Salamandridae.[1][3][4] It is currently known from Hà Giang and Cao Bằng provinces in northern Vietnam, although its actual range probably wider;[1][3] there is a photograph to suggest it also occurs in Lào Cai Province in Vietnam,[2] and its range likely extends to Yunnan in southern China.[1][3] Based on molecular genetic data, Tylototriton ziegleri belongs to the "Tylototriton asperrimus group" of newts. The specific name ziegleri honours Thomas Ziegler [fr; de], a German herpetologist.[2]
