    • 2015 October 1, “An Extremely Peramorphic Newt (Urodela: Salamandridae: Pleurodelini) from the Latest Oligocene of Germany, and a New Phylogenetic Analysis of Extant and Extinct Salamandrids”, in PLOS ONE, DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0137068:
      Of the non-pleurodeline salamandrids, we have retained Salamandrina and the salamandrines Chioglossa and Salamandra; we have excluded the salamandrines Mertensiella (sister-group to Chioglossa [1 ,2 ]), which is poorly known, and Lyciasalamandra, which is very similar to but generally somewhat more paedomorphic than its sister-group Salamandra.
