''Lissotriton'' is a genus of newts native to Europe and parts of Asia Minor. As most other newts, they are aquatic as larvae and during breeding time but live in terrestrial, humid habitats over the rest of the season. These rather small species used to be included in genus ''Triturus'', but phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that genus as paraphyletic.〔〔 In the following, the name ''Lissotriton'', originally introduced by Thomas Bell in 1839, was reinstated for the small-bodied species related to the type species ''Lissotriton vulgaris'' (the smooth newt).〔〔 Their exact phylogenetic placement within the newts (subfamily Pleurodelinae) is still uncertain.〔 ==Species== Currently, ten species are listed in ''Amphibian species of the world''〔 – the rank of some of these as species or subspecies is however controversial: *''Lissotriton boscai'' (Lataste, 1879) – Bosca's newt *''Lissotriton graecus'' (Wolterstorff, 1906) – Greek newt *''Lissotriton helveticus'' (Razoumovsky, 1789) – Palmate newt *''Lissotriton italicus'' (Peracca, 1898) – Italian newt *''Lissotriton kosswigi'' (Freytag, 1955) *''Lissotriton lantzi'' (Wolterstorff, 1914) – Caucasian smooth newt *''Lissotriton maltzani'' (Boettger, 1879) *''Lissotriton meridionalis'' (Boulenger, 1882) – Southern smooth newt *''Lissotriton montandoni'' (Boulenger, 1880) – Carpathian newt *''Lissotriton vulgaris'' (Linnaeus, 1758) – Smooth newt 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lissotriton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
