A
phylogenetic analysis by Wang and S.E. Evans in 2006 found that
Jeholotriton is a possible sister taxon to
Pangerpeton, a short-bodied salamander from an adjacent locality in
Lingyuan,
Liaoning, strata comparable to the Daohugou Beds. These two taxa are close to the base of crown−group
Urodela (modern salamanders), either just outside it or just within. == See also ==
