		This salamander, a suspected lotic breeder found in the Akaishi Mountains of northwestern Shizuoka Prefecture and southeastern Nagano Prefecture, has recently been confirmed as a new species, being distinguished from other Hynobius species both genetically and morphologically.

		Distribution of this species is confined to the montane regions of Shizuoka and Nagano Prefectures, on the Akaishi Mountains of the Chubu District, central Japan.
