Three new Paramesotriton here for inspection! These are some of those that I mentioned had faint red dorsal lines/stripes.
All three have the same skin texture, which is neither warty nor prickly like the other two kinds in my collection posted:

Two of the three are definitely the same species or subspecies. The third is probably a variation of the same, but is a different color -- which I first thought was brown but when examined closely in bright light turns out to be almost green...(which I've only seen before in caudopunctatus!)
Would be very interested in hearing some educated guesses as to what they are!
They were being sold as hongkongensis and I'm assuming for now that's precisely what they are...
(by the way, trapped air bubbles are the cause of that whitish/silver color on their bodies in a couple if the pics)
