The Anatolian crested newt (Triturus anatolicus) is a newt species endemic to northern Anatolia in Turkey. (wikipedia.org)
Mitochondrial DNA data had already suggested that it was a separate species in a 2013 study, but the authors had preferred to await a more detailed analysis before formal species description and temporarily included it in the Balkan crested newt (Triturus ivanbureschi), which had been split from the southern crested newt (T. karelinii).

Like other Triturus species, the Anatolian crested newt initially develops in the water, but spends most of the year in shady habitats on land as an adult. (wikipedia.org)
