with the following exceptions. Adult females have a more conspicuous vertebral ridge, a smaller and shorter cloacal opening, and no papillae on the cloacal wall. In subadults, the skin is more densely granulated; the dorsal vertebral ridge is highly elevated; the forelimbs are relatively long and extend beyond the anterior margin of the eye when extended forward; the palm and tarsus overlap when the forelimb and hind limb are adpressed against the flank. The number of caudal vertebrae varies among specimens; the posterior tip of the maxillary bone is slightly separated from the pterygoid bone in a few specimens. Linear measurements are summarized in

Adult dorsal coloration ranges from reddish brown to olive brown; ventral color pattern varies from black background with a few orange blotches to orange background with numerous small black flecks. Arrangement of blotches and flecks is subject to individual variation. The white caudal stripe is absent in females. Subadults are black dorsally, with rounded orange blotches on a black venter.

Submerged boulders, small rocks and coarse gravel constitute the pool substrate. Pools are connected by currents of water that course over giant granite boulders. The water is cold, clear and slowmoving. Several species of stream fishes coexist with the newt. Broadleaf forests flourish along the site, but the stream is not covered by the canopy. Newts can be seen crawling actively on the deep pool bottom at midday and they can be found at shallower pool edges at night. Sightings of similar newts in nearby mountains are affirmed by local people. Therefore, we suggest that this species likely occurs in many montane streams in the Yunwu Mountains.
