  Asiatic salamander - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Asiatic Salamanders (Family Hynobiidae) are rather primitive salamanders spread all over Asia.
They are closely related with the Giant Salamanders (Family Cryptobranchidae), with which they form the suborder Cryptobranchoidea.
Also the tadpole can sometimes have reduced external gills if they live in cold and very oxygen rich water.

 Caudata.org Newt and Salamander Forum: European hynobiids...way back when
I never knew before that members of the Asiatic family Hynobiidae used to inhabit eastern Europe (and I don't mean Russia), just like cryptobranchids did long ago.
Abstract: A new extinct genus with two new species of land salamanders of the family Hynobiidae, from the Late Miocene of Polgardi (MN13), Hungary (Parahynobius kordosi gen. n.
The Hynobiidae had a wider geographic distribution during the Tertiary and Quaternary compared to their present range, which is limited to Asia.

The individual characteristics in most cases are shared with other salamanders and should not be interpreted as synapomorphies of the Hynobiidae.
Absence of characteristics found in other salamanders is noted where it is important for distinguishing hynobiids from other salamanders and/or determining their relationships to other salamanders.
The family Hynobiidae is fairly closely related to the family Cryptobranchidae (Larson, 1991; Larson and Dimmick, 1993), with which it forms the caudate suborder Cryptobranchoidea (see Duellman and Trueb, 1986).

 Cryptobranchidae
Because the partially metamorphic adults of the family Cryptobranchidae resemble larvae of the related family Hynobiidae, cryptobranchids are considered to have been derived evolutionarily from hynobiid-like ancestors by retention of larval characteristics in adults (Duellman and Trueb, 1986).
The salamander families Cryptobranchidae and Hynobiidae together form the suborder Cryptobranchoidea.
The Cryptobranchidae is clearly a monophyletic group that is closely related to the Asian family Hynobiidae, as revealed by phylogenetic analysis of ribosomal RNA sequences (Larson, 1991; Larson and Dimmick, 1993) and morphological characters (Estes, 1981; Duellman and Trueb, 1986).

 HYNOBIIDAE - Asian Salamanders
The Hynobiidae are one of the lesser known families of salamanders, at least outside of their natural home, Asia.
There seems to be no one single work (at least outside academic circles) dealing with the family Hynobiidae in its entirety.
However, there is information both in print and on the Internet on the individual species and genera, both natural history and captive husbandry, but far less than for many of the other Caudata families.

 Caudate Families (Newts & Salamanders)
The families Cryptobranchidae and Hynobiidae are closely related, and form the suborder Cryptobranchoidea, the primitive salamanders (Dunn, 1922).
Larvae are either stream or pond type, depending on the species, and possess the typical external gills and caudal fin specialized for their environment.
Previously, the family Hynobiidae was divided into two subfamilies, Hynobiinae, and Ranodontinae.

There are also neotenic species, and neotenic tendencies in the families Salamandridae, Ambystomatidae, Plethodontidae, Dicamptodontidae, and Hynobiidae.
The only family without representatives in North America is the Asiatic family Hynobiidae.

Experts recently discovered around 1200 Chinese Hynobiidaes in Guiding county Southwest of China's Guizhou province.
These are a type of amphibian species around 300 million years old that once used to live in the dinosaur period.
The species, named as Chinese Hynobiidae, dubbed as the "living fossil", was first discovered in Yichang, central China's Hubei province.

Ultrastructure of the spermatozoa of longdong Stream salamander Batrachuperus longdongensis was studied by both transmission and scanning electron microscopy.
The structural features of spermatozoa in Hynobiidae and Batrachuperus, and the relationship between the evolution of sperm and reproductive evolution in urodeles were discussed.
Comparative analyses of sperm structures among the tailed amphibians (Urodela) indicates that: 1.the feature evolution of sperm in urodeles is related to the differentiation of their fertilization modes; 2 the characteristics of the sperm structure support for the Cryptobranchoidea monophyly [Acta Zoologica Sinica 51(4):703 –709, 2005].
