Synonym	Cnemaspis whittenorum DAS 2005 Cnemaspis whittenorum — ISKANDAR et al. 2017
Distribution	Indonesia (Mentawai = Mentawi Archipelago) Type locality: Pulau Siberut (01° 21’S; 98° 59’ E), Mentawai Archipelago, Sumatera Barat Propinsi, Republic of Indonesia.
Reproduction	oviparous
Types	Holotype: BMNH 1979.225, female
Diagnosis	Diagnosis: Cnemaspis whittenorum differs from all other Southeast Asian diminutive Cnemaspis in having the unique combination of a maximum SVL of 32.0 mm; each postmental bounded by four scales; dorsal scales keeled; four spine-like tubercles on flank; gular scales keeled; pectoral scales and abdominal scales keeled; ventral scales of thigh slightly keeled; four precloacal pores; six femoral pores on each side; subcaudals keeled, scales on median row enlarged, keeled; 5 or 6 supra- labials; 18 lamellae under fourth toe. Cnemaspis whittenorum is most similar to C. modiglianii, but it can be distinguished from this species (characters in parenthe- ses) by having 6 (4 or 5) femoral pores (on each side) in males. Cnemaspis whittenorum is also similar to Cnemaspis jacobsoni, but it can be distinguished from this species (characters in parentheses) by having precloacal and femoral pores (lacking) in males and 18 (14) lamellae under fourth toe. [Iskandar et al. 2017]
