Lyciasalamandra is a genus of salamanders in the family Salamandridae. They are native to southwestern coast of Turkey and nearby Aegean Islands (Greece).[1] As of early 2018, all species in the genus are threatened.[2] The common name Lycian salamanders has been coined for them.[3]
Species
Lyciasalamandra contains seven recognized species:[1]
Molecular data suggest that some recently described species (Lyciasalamandra irfani,[4] Lyciasalamandra arikani, and Lyciasalamandra yehudahi[5]), which as of early 2018 are still listed by the AmphibiaWeb,[6] should be considered as subspecies of Lyciasalamandra billae.[3][7]
Reproduction
All Lyciasalamandra species are viviparous, as are four species of Salamandra.[8]
