Abstract
Multifactorial analysis of the volume of telencephalic nuclear masses of Amphibia Urodela (44 species and subspecies) helps to identify the relationships between group taxonomy and volumetric organisation of th e forebrain, particularly for genus Triturus. The results justify the creation of the concept of neurotaxonomy which clarifies, on a new bas is, systematics and neurosciences as practised on Amphibians.
