I have heard of Mesotriton, but not Ichtyosaura. Is it new?
Good to know I am escused, i did not want to start with a bad impression. When the Triturus group was split, the Alpine newt was given the Mesotriton genus, at least one author (can't remember who) argued that it should revert to the older Ichtyosaura genus... But so far I have never seen anyone using it.
