Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 43 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. 
CommentCyrtodactylus phuocbinhensis sp. nov. is characterized by a series of enlarged femoral scales separated from preanal scales. C. phuocbinhensis is distinguished from other congeners by a combination of the following characters: small subcaudal scales, not transversely enlarged; presence (C. phuocbinhensis sp. nov.) or absence (C. taynguyenensis sp. nov.) of enlarged femoral scales; number of preanal pores; and dorsal pattern.

Habitat. The two geckos were collected at night on rocks and trees along streams at the elevation of 646–1136 m elevation.

Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017).
