The ‘smooth newt’, the taxon traditionally referred to as <i>Lissotriton vulgaris</i>,<i> </i>consists of multiple morphologically
distinct taxa. Given the uncertainty concerning the validity and rank of these
taxa, <i>L. vulgaris </i>sensu lato has
often been treated as a single, polytypic species. A recent study, driven by
genetic data, proposed to recognize five species, <i>L. graecus</i>,<i> L. kosswigi</i>,<i> L. lantzi</i>, <i>L. schmidtleri </i>and a more restricted <i>L. vulgaris</i>.<i> </i>The
Carpathian newt <i>L. montandoni</i> was
confirmed to be a closely related sister species. We propose to refer to this
collective of six <i>Lissotriton </i>species
as the smooth newt or <i>Lissotriton vulgaris </i>species complex. Guided
by comprehensive genomic data from throughout the range of the smooth newt
species complex we 1) delineate the distribution ranges, 2) provide a
distribution database, and 3) produce distribution maps according to the format
of the New Atlas of Amphibians and Reptiles of Europe, for the six constituent
species. This allows us to 4) highlight regions where more research is needed
to determine the position of contact zones
