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
