英文摘要Hynobiids are a group of small- to moderate-sized salamanders living primarily in Asia. They are a primitive crown-group clade, with a poor fossil record. Several hynobiid-like taxa have been discovered from the Lower Cretaceous strata of northern China during the last 20 years, with Liaoxitriton zhongjiani and Nuominerpeton aquilonaris identified as the oldest known stem hynobiids. However, the record of pre-Cretaceous hynobiid-like taxa is only known by Liaoxitriton daohugouensis, of which both the morphology and the congeneric status with L. zhongjiani remain problematic. Here, we report on a new hynobiid-like salamander, Linglongtriton daxishanensis, gen. et sp. nov., on the basis of two specimens from the Upper Jurassic Lanqi/Tiaojishan Formation (similar to 160 Ma) of Liaoning Province, China. Linglongtriton is diagnosed by a unique combination of features revealed by both observation under microscope and micro-computed tomography (mu CT) scan of the holotype, including nasals separated from each other at the midline; prootic, opisthotic, and exoccipital retained as discrete elements; dentary with a lateral groove; articular not ossified; metacarpal III enlarged; a single centrale; and distal tarsals 4 and 5 fused into a single element. Phylogenetic analysis identified Linglongtriton and several other hynobiid-like taxa, including Liaoxitriton daohugouensis, as stem hynobiids, thereby extending the temporal range of the stem by at least 40 Ma-from the Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Barremian) to the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian). Comparative study of Linglongtriton with living and fossil hynobiids sheds new lights on the evolution and developmental mechanisms of several characters, including nasal separation and tarsal elements.
