Hynobius vandenburghi

Hynobius vandenburghi (Hynobius vandenburghi) is a Japanese hynobiid retained under the exact catalogue name Hynobius vandenburghi. Identification should combine body proportions, colour, skin texture and locality because closely related Japanese salamanders can be difficult to separate. Claims are limited to species accounts opened for this batch (Wikipedia, general species account). Field identification should remain cautious wherever full diagnostic measurements or clear photographs are unavailable.

The opened general account provided no accessible species text, so morphology, distribution, habitat and breeding are left unstated pending a readable species-level source. Information absent from those species-level sources is omitted rather than transferred from relatives. Japanese occurrence follows the catalogue and opened distribution account, without relying on IUCN conservation material (Wikipedia, general species account; Wildlife of Japan occurrence records).
