Diagnosis 
CommentDistribution: Reports of this species from Vietnam are based on STRAUCH (1887) who wrote "Gymnodactylus philippinicus Steindachner, No 1107, Insel Pulo Condore, Coll. A. Boucard, 1869". However, there appears to be no other record and so the presence of this species in Vietnam appears to be questionable (V. BOBROV, pers. comm.) 
EtymologyNamed after its distribution in the Philippine Islands.
