Taxonomic identification of two Taiwanese salamanders, Hynobius sonani (Maki, 1922), and H. formosanus Maki, 1922, was clarified. Based on the descriptions and measurement data in the original description, we confirmed that H. sonani has been treated as H. formosanus and vice versa, which might have been caused by confusion of sampling localities of the two species. Because we could not find the holotypes of the two species and concluded these were lost, we herein assign neotypes for these species for precluding future taxonomic confusion.
对两种台湾产的蝾螈，即大凉疣螈（Maki，1922）和台湾疣螈（Maki，1922），进行了分类鉴定。根据原始描述中的描述和测量数据，我们确认 H. sonani 被视为 H. formosanus，反之亦然，这可能是由于对这两个物种的采样地点混淆所致。由于我们找不到这两个物种的模式标本，并推断它们已经丢失，因此我们在这里为这两个物种指定了新的模式标本，以避免未来的分类混淆。
