I took these pics in a market in South China.
It is obviously a semiadult Paramesotriton, but which species?

 

[eljorgo]

Its a P. chinensis sub adult

 

[Azhael]

Ah, this one is easy, P.chinensis.

I concur. Ironic that what's in a pet market in the Hong Kong vicinity [export point for oddball southern species] is what is commonly shipped from Shanghai as one of three newts common THERE.
