For a long time in the past, <em>T. verrucosus</em> was the sole known urodelan species found in Thailand, but was recently shown to be comprised of three cryptic species, <em>T. uyenoi</em>, <em>T. anguliceps</em>, and <em>T. panhai</em>.  However, in our molecular study, the newts from Doi Chang, Chiang Rai Province were different from these three recognized <em>Tylototriton</em> species, and nested within the clade of <em>T. verrucosus</em> from China. They also had morphological traits similar to <em>T. verrucosus</em>. These results lead to the confirmation of the existence of <em>T. verrucosus</em> in Thailand. The habitats of <em>T. verrucosus</em> need to be protected by future conservation plans.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Tropical Natural History}, author={Pomchote, Porrawee and Khonsue, Wichase and Sapewisut, Pitak and Eto, Koshiro and Nishikawa, Kanto}, year={2020}, month={Feb.}, pages={1–15} }
