  • Triturus carnifex macedonicus Arntzen and Wallis, 1999
  • Triturus (Triturus) macedonicus Dubois and Raffaëlli, 2009

  • Triturus arntzeni Espregueira Themudo, Wielstra, and Arntzen, 2009

To the North, its range borders that of the Danube crested newt and the Northern crested newt and to the East, that of the Balkan-Anatolian crested newt.

It was first described as a variety of Triturus karelinii, later considered a subspecies of Triturus carnifex, and was elevated to species rank following molecular phylogenetic analysis in 2007.[3]

Triturus arntzeni was considered a synonym of T. macedonicus,[4] but this name applies in fact to a hybrid between this species and the Balkan-Anatolian crested newt (T. ivanbureschi), and thus is a synonym of both species.[5]
