missing info[edit]

Where has it been found, and how old is it? — kwami (talk) 19:31, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

good questions! Oeningen, and as for age, Miocene. Jane (talk) 15:29, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cryptobranchus?[edit]

The paleo database seems to classify it n another genus: http://paleodb.org/cgi-bin/bridge.pl?a=basicTaxonInfo&taxon_no=64153 FunkMonk (talk) 00:32, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Homo diluvii testis[edit]

Homo diluvii testis cant be a synonym of Andrias scheuchzeri, since Scheuchzer identified the remains as belonging to a man. The expression Homo diluvii testis (The man who was witness of the Deluge) is just the title of the book, which must be taken as if it were the headline of a newspaper news, not as a taxonomic identification.

On the other hand, there cant be synonyms (or species names) prior to 1758, date of the publication of the tenth edition of the work of Linnaeus Systema Naturae, origin of modern zoological nomenclature. --PePeEfe (talk) 18:11, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I remove it from the taxobox. --PePeEfe (talk) 18:21, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
