Does anyone read Copeia?

I received an e-mail informing me that the following two species are synonyms (i.e., the first of them should not be on the species list for CC):
Thorius maxillabrochus
Thorius schimdti

The reference cited is:
Hanken,J and D.B. Wake. 1998. Biology of tiny animals: Systematics of the minute salamanders genus Thorius (Caudata: Plethodontidae) from Veracruz and Puebla, México, with descrptions and five new species. Copeia 2:312-345.

Is there anyone out there who has this article, or can go read it for me and tell me if this is true?

Ordinarily, AmphibiaWeb keeps their lists up to date, and they still have both species listed. This is why I hesitate to remove it without checking the article.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
