The ultrastructural differences between the inner ears of Japanese red-bellied newts (Cynops pyrrhogaster) and black-spotted pond frogs (Rana nigromaculata) were investigated. Scanning electron microscopic observations showed apparent morphological differences in the shape of the ampulla cristae and the localization of the striola in the saccular macula. There were differences in the length of the kinocilia of the sensory hairs in each sensory region. In addition, the diameters of the bundles of stereocilia differed between the two species : the bundles of stereocilia in the semicircular cristae were thicker in frogs than in newts, while those of the utricular and lagenal maculae were thicker in newts than in frogs.
