Abstract:

The last decades brought major changes both in the number of species and in the reappraisal of the amphibian’s systematic, world wide. This situation is due to perfecting of available tools: techniques of molecular and behavioural analysis, data processing, larger geographic cover and a larger number of researchers. The result is an explosion of publications and taxonomic reappraisal that determines instability of nomenclature and it creates a chaotic situation in legislation and conservation. These taxonomic modifications are necessary, it keeps up with our increased capacity of knowledge, but they are probably not final. This is the reason why, in order to maintain stability in the nomenclature, we recommend the acceptance of only some of the proposed nomenclature reappraisal, respectively of the most well argued.
