These differences are summarized across all species in TABLES 1 and 2 in GRISMER et al. 2010, and Grismer et al. 2014 (Table 6). Comparisons. Cnemaspis huaseesom sp. nov. is differentiated from all other species of Southeast Asain Cnemaspis in that adult males have a yellow head, forearms, and original tail. In this regard it is similar to C. paripari Grismer & Chan 2009 although adult male C. paripari lack yellow limbs and only the regenerated tail is yellow (Grismer & Chan 2009). |
