| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Cnemaspis thachanaensis sp. nov. is distinguished from all other species of Cnemaspis in the siamensis group by the combination of the following morphological and color pattern characteristics: maximum SVL 39 mm; 10 or 11 supralabials; 9–11 infralabials; ventral scales keeled; no precloacal pores in males; 15–19 paravertebral tubercles linearly arranged; tubercles generally present on the lower flanks; lateral caudal furrows present; no caudal tubercles in the lateral furrows; ventrolateral caudal tubercles anteriorly; presence of lateral caudal tubercle row; caudal tubercles not encircling tail; caudal tubercles restricted to a single paravertebral row; subcaudals keeled bearing a single median row of enlarged keeled scales; one or two post cloacal tubercles in males; no enlarged femoral or tibial scales; subtibials keeled; enlarged submetatarsal scale on first toe; 23–25 subdigital fourth toe lamellae; sexually dimorphic for ventral and dorsal coloration; yellow or white bars present on flanks; prescapular marking present; gular region yellowish-orange, dark incomplete lineate markings in males, less prominent in females; abdomen, limbs and subcaudal region whitish (Table 9). |
| Comment | Behavior: diurnal. No specimens were observed at night. Habitat: karst tower embedded within a highly disturbed lowland limestone forest. This species may use the vegetation at night for refuge to avoid Cyrtodactylus thirakaputhi which is nocturnal and maybe a potential predator. Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). |
| Etymology | The specific epithet thachanaensis is a noun in apposition to the type locality where this species is found. |
