Abstract
The Pannonian and Danube Delta populations of Triturus dobrogicus are well separated morphologically from each other. We recognize two subspecies of t he Danube crested newt. The nominotypic subspecies inhabits the Danube Delt a. Triturus dobrogicus macrosomus (Boulenger, 1908), comb, and stat, nov., occurs in the remaining pan of the species' range.
