Edmund D. Brodie Jr., Manuel Acevedo, and Jonathan A. Campbell, 2012. New Salamanders of the Genus Oedipina (Caudata: Plethodontidae) from Guatemala. Journal of Herpetology 46(2):233-240.

New salamanders of the genus Oedipina are described from the xeric Motagua Valley in eastern Guatemala, the El Trifinio highlands near the Honduras/El Salvador borders, and the Pacific versant of south-central Guatemala. These new species have been previously associated with known species, but possess distinctive foot morphology, different numbers of teeth, and body morphology and inhabit distinctive environments.

Until I obtain the full paper or hear from someone else who has it, I don't know the names, subgenera, or species groups.

    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?
