Type locality: Bulasat Village, Pagai Selatan Island, West Sumatra, Indonesia, 34 m (03.07941°S, 100.29394°E),  
Reproductionoviparous (manual imputation, fide Zimin et al. 2022) 
TypesHolotype: MZB 13004, Male, SVL 31.9 mm, collected on 2 July 2009 by J. A. McGuire and party. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Cnemaspis pagai sp. nov. differs from all other Southeast Asian diminutive Cnemaspis in having the unique combination of a maximum SVL of 31.9 mm; each postmental bounded by three scales; dorsal scales keeled; four spine-like tubercles on flank; gular scales keeled; pectoral scales and abdominal scales keeled; ventral scales of thigh strongly keeled; two precloacal pores; three femoral pores on each side; subcaudals keeled, scales on median row enlarged and keeled; seven supralabials; 20 lamellae under fourth toe.
Cnemaspis pagai sp. nov. is most similar to C. modiglianii, but it can be distinguished from this species (characters in parenthe- ses) by having three (4 or 5) femoral pores (on each side) in males, and 20 (16–18) lamellae under the fourth toe. 
CommentAbundance: only known from the type specimen (Meiri et al. 2017).
