Reproductionoviparous 
TypesSyntypes: BMNH 1946.8.23.10 and 1893.10.9.2, MSNG 28502 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Cyrtodactylus peguensis differs from other species of the peguensis group by having the unique combination of seven supralabial and infralabial scales; 31 or 32 paravertebral tubercles; 17–19 longitudinal rows of dorsal tubercles; 36 or 37 ventral scales; 19 subdigital lamellae on the fourth toe; 17–19 femoral pores in males; eight precloacal pores in males; three rows of post-precloacal scales; and domed to weakly conical and weakly keeled body tubercles; and a maximum SVL of 70 mm (Table 7) [from Grismer et al. 2018: 26] 
CommentDistribution: Has been erroneously (?) reported from India.

Illustration: For color plate of Cyrtodactylus peguensis zebraicus see RÖSLER 1995: 110 and MANTHEY & GROSSMANN 1997: 225.

Subspecies: Cyrtodactylus peguensis zebraicus has been elevated to full species status by Grismer et al. 2018, as it does not seem to be related to peguensis but rather to C. oldhami. 
EtymologyNamed after the type locality.
