The following is the translation of the provided 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "The scientists have described a new species of salamander from the Tylototriton genus, found in the evergreen mountain forests of Mount Ngoc Linh in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. Tylototriton is a large genus of salamanders, commonly known as crocodile newts, belonging to the Salamandridae family."
First described in 1871, the genus currently contains at least 39 species that inhabit mountainous forest areas across the monsoon climate zones of Asia. These species are distributed throughout Asia, from the eastern Himalayas, eastern Nepal, northern India, Bhutan, Myanmar, central to southern China, and southward through Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Tylototriton includes three subgenera, namely Tylototriton, Yaotriton, and Liangshantriton. This newly discovered species is named Tylototriton ngoclinhensis (commonly known as Ngoc Linh water newt), belonging to the subgenus Yaotriton. This crocodile newt is a medium-sized and strong species of salamander, measuring between 6 and 6.7 cm in length.
Tylototriton ngoclinhensis is limited to the evergreen mountain forests near water bodies in Mount Ngoc Linh in the province of Kon Tum, Vietnam. This is the first time the crocodile newt species has been recorded originating from the Central Highlands of Vietnam. "This animal has an elevation of over 1,800 m, and this discovery breaks the altitude record for the genus in this country, with its previous range scattered between 250 m," said Phung.
The researchers suggest that this new species be classified as Endangered in the IUCN Red List. "Due to the reasons mentioned above and considering that Tylototriton is currently only known from Mount Ngoc Linh, implying a limited distribution range consisting of a small isolated mountain population, it is clear evidence of high potential threats," said Phung.
