Diagnosis	Diagnosis: Cyrtodactylus durio is distinguished from all other Sunda Shelf species by having a maximum SVL of 79.3 mm; large, conical, elongate, keeled tubercles on body limbs and tail; elongate, spinose tubercles in ventrolateral body fold and on ventrolateral margin of tail; 16 longitudinal rows of tubercles at midbody; 59 ventral scales; no transversely enlarged, median, subcaudal scales; proximal subdigital lamellae transversely expanded; 22 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; no abrupt transition between postfemoral and ventral femoral scales; no digital webbing; two nearly parallel rows of six enlarged, pore-bearing precloacal scales opposing a shallow precloacal sulcus; tail round in cross-section, lacking ventrolateral caudal fringe; no white reticulum on head; and faint, squarish blotches on body. These characters are summarized across all Sunda Shelf species in Chan and Norhayati (2010; Table 1).
