Since there seems to be some off-line interest in WC location-known C.p, I'll try to get some more pics posted. Here are some C.p from Niigata Prefecture in northern Honshu Island on the Japan Sea coast.
The precise location they were caught is the village of Makimura in southern Niigata on the border with Toyama Prefecture

Not sure whether or not they are of the Tohoku race or an intermediate race but they are located close to #11 on this map:
[Hayashi, T. & Matsui, M. (1990), Genetic differentiations within and between two local races of the Japanese newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster, in eastern Japan.]
I keep 4 of them, of which one is considerably less dark than the others.
