The Alishan salamander, Hynobius arisanensis, is a species of salamander in the Hynobiidae family endemic to Taiwan. It occurs in the Alishan Range, the Yushan Range, and southern Central Mountain Range, where it lives at altitudes of 1,800–3,600 m (5,900–11,800 ft) above sea level.[2] Its natural habitats are temperate forests, rivers, and freshwater springs.[1] It is usually hiding during day time.[2]
Adult H. arisanensis measure 5.0–6.5 cm (2.0–2.6 in) in snout–vent length. It is blackish-brown to reddish-brown dorsally and somewhat lighter brown or grey-brown ventrally.[2]
A study of H. arisanensis in the Alishan Range found the adults had home ranges of up to 500 m2 (mean 65 m2). Adult and juvenile survival was high, 0.996 and 0.977, respectively. With the estimated population growth ratio of 1.077, the population appeared stable or slightly increasing.[3]
Hynobius arisanensis is threatened by habitat loss, partly driven by infrastructure development for tourism. Some of the populations are located within the Yushan National Park.[1]
