The Turkestanian salamander (Hynobius turkestanicus) is a species of salamander in the family Hynobiidae[1] once found in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Several specimens were collected in 1909,[2] but since then the species has not been seen in the wild. None remain in captivity. The Turkestanian salamander is currently on the list of the 10 Most Wanted Amphibians, a rediscovery effort launched by Conservation International.[3]
