Abstract:

Interspecific hybrids between Bombina bombina (Linnaeus) and Bombina variegata (Linnaeus) were reared under laboratory conditions. Taxonomic characters of laboratory and field specimens of the two species were subjected to a comparative analysis. A system of classification was worked out and on its basis the metamorphosed hybrids were classified. A description of the phenotype is given.
